What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies and Robbie Rossie’s Field occupy a narrow strip of Aberdeenshire where human hands shaped the land before any date was written. The name Robbie Rossie still belongs to the field, perhaps a neighbour, tenant or trickster forgotten by time. The policies may have served the castle kitchen, guarded its boundary or simply given people a place to breathe away from street life.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Robbie Rossie’s Field as Structure (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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
