What is recorded here

Invergowrie Castle stands as a medieval fortress in Dundee City, its exact position known though its chambers may no longer be. The distinction between knowing where a castle sat and entering it matters. A castle can be certain on a map and still withhold its rooms from human hands.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Invergowrie 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.

Invergowrie Castle was built by the Leslie family in the 15th century and later held by the Forbes family. It is important as a historic seat associated with prominent Scottish noble families and as an example of medieval castle architecture in Scotland.
