Aberdour Castle Drive House

House (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Aberdour Castle Drive House stands beside Fife's oldest royal castle, a small building with a large shadow. It may have served the castle as a kitchen, store or guard room, though no surviving account names that role. The main castle still casts its shape across the valley, and the smaller house remains tucked inside that older presence.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aberdour Castle Drive House as House (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Aberdour Castle Drive House is a historic structure associated with the medieval Aberdour Castle, which was built in the 14th century by the Leslie family, hereditary Earls of Rothes. The site is important as it represents a key defensive and noble residence in the history of East Lothian, Scotland.
