What is recorded here

Kindrochit Castle stood as a royal hunting seat for Robert II between 1371 and 1388, its massive thirty-metre hall resting above dark cellars where shadows still linger. Malcolm Drummond later cut through the west wall to build his own tower, forcing two proud structures to share one footprint. Boy scouts once pried a silver-gilt brooch from the prison earth, proving that even forgotten stones keep brilliant secrets for patient hands.

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

Built by the Gordon family in the 15th century, Kindrochit Castle is remembered as a historic stronghold associated with the powerful and influential Gordons of Huntly, playing a role in the political and military history of northern Scotland.
