What is recorded here

Gordon Castle Policies holds cropmarks where the River Spey once flowed before human hands redirected its course. The unknown period suggests these are old scars, perhaps medieval or older, preserved in soil rather than stone. The 1829 flood breached the park wall for 186 yards, proving the land remembers water more strongly than it remembers walls. What appears empty on the surface may hide a whole forgotten landscape, waiting for rain or plough to reveal it again.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Gordon Castle Policies as Cropmark(s) (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
