Castle Terrace Car Park, Brutalist multi-storey car park in central Edinburgh, Scotland.
Castle Terrace Car Park features exposed concrete construction with strong geometric forms representing the architectural principles of the 1950s modernist movement.
The structure marked a significant advancement in Scottish parking facilities when it opened as the country's first modern multi-storey car park in the 1950s.
The designation as a Category B listed building demonstrates the evolving recognition of mid-20th century architectural contributions to Edinburgh's built environment.
The parking facility provides 750 spaces across multiple levels, offering direct access to Edinburgh Castle, Grassmarket, and the Royal Mile.
Engineer Frank Dinnis incorporated design elements from Copenhagen into the structure, resulting in an innovative approach to vertical parking solutions.
