What is recorded here

Cushnie Castle stood in Aberdeenshire during the sixteenth century, but memory has erased its walls. Laing wrote in 1828 that the Lumsdens occupied it in 1618, proven by a coat-of-arms bearing RL and ER. Whether that chamber watched fields, stored grain or hid lovers during stormy nights, the lodge built in 1707 replaced whatever the castle was.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Cushnie Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Cushnie Castle was a medieval stronghold, likely built in the 13th or 14th century by a local noble family in the north-east of Scotland. It is remembered for its strategic position and as an example of early Scottish castle architecture in a region with a rich history of clan activity and conflict.
