What is recorded here

Castle Fauld stands in Aberdeenshire as a possible medieval castle tied to the Earldom of Buchan. It may have anchored the barony of Glendowachie or Glenquithle, giving local leaders a visible claim across the land. No walls remain for certain, but the name still marks a place where power was displayed and remembered.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fauld as House (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
