What is recorded here

Crathes Castle Policies is an unassigned aqueduct beside Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire, recorded as a post-medieval structure. It may have carried water for the castle kitchens, gardens or stables, though no surviving pipe or channel is named. The absence of a visible date does not diminish the purpose: water was still being directed, saved and shared within the castle grounds.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Crathes Castle Policies as Aqueduct (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.
