What is recorded here
Castle Hill in Banff, Aberdeenshire, is a quiet event marker on the official map, precise to ten metres but stripped of date and description. The hill may have witnessed ships arriving, markets forming or borders shifting, yet no human voice remains attached to it. What is missing is not a small gap but the entire life of the place.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Banff, Castle Hill as No Class (event) (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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
