What is recorded here

Dub Castle stands as a medieval ruin in Aberdeen City, its stones marked by age rather than grandeur. The exact location remains uncertain within a hundred metres, inviting imagination to fill the gap. What is clear is that it survived long enough to be recorded, and vanished enough to resist easy description.

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

Dub Castle was built in the medieval period, likely by a local noble family in the region, though specific builders and dates remain unrecorded. It is remembered as a historic example of Scotland's medieval castle architecture and is listed in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment.
