What is recorded here

Piper's Knowe is a possible platform in Culzean Castle Policies, recorded without a date but marked with a precise point on the land. The name suggests a piper once stood there, perhaps calling across the policies or practicing until the muscles in his cheeks ached. The earth may have kept that shape because people remembered the sound, not the stones.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Culzean Castle Policies, Piper's Knowe as Platform (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
