What is recorded here

Corgarff Castle, Quarry stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, marked only as a quarry on the national record. The site may have supplied stone for the castle above or for local farms, yet no date or owner survives in the official entry. A quarry is a wound in the hill, but it is also a gift: stone taken from one place becomes a wall, a road or a hearth elsewhere. The absence of a date does not erase the labour, only the name of the men who swung the hammers.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Corgarff Castle, Quarry as Quarry (period Unassigned). 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.

Corgarff Castle was built in the 16th century by the Gordon family, who were prominent in northeast Scotland. It is remembered as a historic stronghold associated with the powerful and influential Gordon earls of Huntly.
