What is recorded here

Drum Castle Policies and Target Park mark a buried military landscape where practice rounds flew and muscle memory formed. The policies suggest a private domain, perhaps belonging to Drum Castle, where local people obeyed boundaries they never controlled. A target park sounds brutal and exact, a place where distance mattered more than mercy.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Target Park as Structure(s) (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.

Drum Castle Policies, Target Park is associated with the Drum Castle estate, historically held by the Keith family, Earls Marischal of Scotland, with construction of the main castle dating from the 16th century. The policies are important as they represent the surrounding lands managed by the castle's owners, reflecting the feudal and agricultural systems of the time.
