What is recorded here

Culzean Castle Policies, Deer Park, occupies a narrow strip in South Ayrshire, Scotland, where a small pond sits beside land shaped for castle deer. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the water itself has no recorded date or named keeper. It may have served the castle kitchen, reflected the policies at dawn, or simply collected rain while deer drank elsewhere. A place can be certain on a map and still keep its history unspoken.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Culzean Castle Policies, Deer Park as Pond (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.

Culzean Castle, located in Ayrshire, Scotland, was built by the Kennedy family in the 18th century, with significant expansion in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is important as a notable example of neoclassical architecture and as the ancestral seat of the Earls of Cassillis.
