What is recorded here

Inverey Castle stood as a plain oblong lairds house near Crathie and Braemar, built around 1640 and burned in 1689. Royal troops destroyed it after the Battle of Killiecrankie, leaving only the east wall behind. That single surviving stone edge still marks the shape of a home that vanished in smoke, preserving the exact moment joy turned to ash.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inverey Castle as Lairds House (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.

Inverey Castle was built by the Inverey family in the 16th century and served as a laird's residence in the Scottish Borders. It is remembered for its historical association with Border Reiver history and its well-preserved tower house architecture.
