What is recorded here

Drum Castle Policies, Target Park stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a structure whose exact age remains unknown. The name suggests a martial purpose beneath the castle grounds, perhaps a place where arrows flew or muskets sang before the land became quiet. Whether it served a lord's pride or a community's defence, the earth still holds the shape of that intention.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Target Park 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.

Drum Castle Policies, Target Park, is associated with the Drum Castle estate, historically held by the Keith family, Earls Marischal of Scotland, with construction of the main castle beginning in the late 15th century. The policies (surrounding lands and buildings) were significant as part of the estate that reflected the power and influence of the Keiths in Aberdeenshire.
