What is recorded here

Fyvie Castle, Bothy and Game Larder in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is a bothy and a 19th- or 20th-century game larder, not a castle chamber or public exhibition. The castle name suggests pride, the bothy suggests endurance, and the larder suggests hunger controlled rather than shared. Together they sketch a place where people ate, waited, kept food from waste and left the land marked by small practical choices.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fyvie Castle, Bothy and Game Larder as Bothy (period Unassigned), Game Larder (19th Century) - (20th Century). 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.

Fyvie Castle was originally built in the 13th century by the Comyn family, later held by the Earls of Errol, and is remembered for its strategic importance in Scottish history and its well-preserved medieval architecture. The Bothy and Game Larder are associated with later 19th- and 20th-century estate management practices.
