What is recorded here

Aberdeenshire still holds Fiddes Castle, a medieval structure whose exact position remains known. The stones may have resisted rain and forgotten hands, but no human story has survived to explain who lived inside or why the chamber was built.

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

Fiddes Castle was a medieval tower house built in the 16th century, likely by the Maxwell family, who were prominent in the region. It is remembered for its strategic position in the Scottish Borders and its association with the turbulent history of border conflicts.
