What is recorded here

Kennels stand beside Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, their exact purpose and age still unrecorded. They may have housed hunting dogs, kept castle horses, or stored tools for the estate. Whatever they contained, they survived beside a royal residence and still mark the land.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balmoral Castle, Kennels as Kennels (period Unassigned). 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.

Balmoral Castle, Kennels is part of the Balmoral Estate, which was significantly expanded by Prince Albert in the 1850s for Queen Victoria. The site is important as it is associated with the British royal family's historical presence in Scotland.
