What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies and Drum Hill Wood hold a hidden spring beneath Aberdeenshire soil, waiting for rain to fill its chamber and pressure to force water through rock. The exact date remains unknown, but the water has moved since long before human memory. It does not need a name or a master; it follows the shape of the earth and returns whenever the ground calls it back.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Drum Hill Wood as Spring (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.
