What is recorded here
Cowie Hill holds a modern marker post inside Drum Castle Policies, Aberdeenshire, but the distinction between a visible point and a reachable place still matters. The hill may display for miles while the ground beneath refuses entry without permission. Distance and ownership both draw their own lines.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill as Marker Post (modern). 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.
