What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill holds a modern marker post, yet the exact purpose and history of that post remain unrecorded. The land may have served people in ways no longer written down, perhaps guiding travellers or marking a boundary now forgotten. What is known is only that a post stands there, waiting for someone to ask why it was set in the ground.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill as Marker Post (modern). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
