What is recorded here

Craigievar Castle Policies occupies a narrow strip of Aberdeenshire land where human life still moves through grass, soil and memory. The official label calls it a public convenience, yet the name suggests something larger: a living edge belonging to Craigievar itself. Perhaps people walked there to breathe, think or be near the castle without entering it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Craigievar Castle Policies as Public Convenience (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.

Craigievar Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was built in the early 18th century by the Forbes family, specifically for William Forbes, who later became the 5th Earl of Granard. The castle is important as a fine example of Scottish baronial architecture and is remembered for its distinctive pink sandstone façade and historical association with the Forbes clan.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
