Hill of Blairbowie

Castle (medieval)(possible), Kiln (period Unassigned), Well (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Hill of Blairbowie in Aberdeenshire still wears the shapes of a possible medieval castle, an unassigned kiln and a well. Stone and soil may have served a lord, fired clay for roof or pipe, and given water to whoever lived nearby. The hill keeps those uses tangled together, waiting for a person brave enough to walk its quiet slope and ask what it remembers.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hill of Blairbowie as Castle (medieval)(possible), Kiln (period Unassigned), Well (period Unassigned). 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
