What is recorded here

Ardvreck Castle stands in the Highland as a medieval castle and possible walled garden, its stones marked as a scheduled monument since 1895. The structure still shows interior spaces, tower heights and window openings, while its exact boundary remains unclear in the public record. It is the kind of place where human life moved through stone, season and risk, even when the names and dates have thinned.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ardvreck Castle as Field Boundary (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Ardvreck Castle was built by the Clan Mackenzie in the 16th century and later held by the Clan Munro. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the Scottish Highlands and for its historical association with the Jacobite uprisings.
