What is recorded here

Invermarkie Castle appeared when John Gordon received land for fighting at the Battle of Brechin in 1452. That reward turned martial service into a local landmark, giving his household a visible claim on the earth. The castle has vanished, but the grant still stands behind the name.

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

Invermarkie Castle was a medieval stronghold, likely built in the 13th or 14th century, and is remembered for its strategic position in the Moray region of Scotland. It is associated with the powerful Clan Keith, who held significant influence in the area during the Middle Ages.
