What is recorded here

Kinnell Castle in Angus, Scotland, may have been a medieval castle, though no surviving chamber or courtyard is certain. The name still belongs to the land, and the land still keeps the shape of a place that once needed defending. Whatever room or gate existed there has returned to grass, stone or memory.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kinnell Castle as Castle (medieval)(possible). 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.

Kinnell Castle was a medieval stronghold associated with the Keith family, built in the 15th century. It is remembered for its strategic position in the Mearns area of Scotland and as part of the regional power dynamics of the time.
