What is recorded here

Kennels stand near Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They are recorded as kennels without a clear period. The main castle receives most attention, but these smaller buildings reveal that dogs and human hands still shaped the estate. They may have housed hunting dogs, working animals or kept men busy during long days.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balmoral Castle, Kennels (near Castle) as Kennels (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Balmoral Castle Kennels are part of the Balmoral Estate, which was significantly expanded by Prince Albert in the 1850s for Queen Victoria. The kennels are remembered as part of the royal retreat's historic and architectural significance in Scottish history.
