What is recorded here

Garvie Castle stands in Argyll and Bute as a medieval ruin, its stones weathered by centuries of salt wind and human forgetfulness. The exact position is known, yet the interior remains closed to casual wonder. What lives inside the walls is no longer certain, only suggested by the shape of what is left behind.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records 'garvie Castle' as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Garvie Castle was built in the 13th century by the Gordon family, a powerful Scottish noble clan. It is remembered for its strategic location and as a symbol of the family's influence in northeast Scotland during the medieval period.
