What is recorded here

Dunninald Castle is a ruined castle in Angus, Scotland. The ruins still mark the land as a post Medieval drainage channel, unknown enclosure and field boundary. That is a strange mixture: a castle reduced to water management and fence lines. Perhaps the building disappeared so completely that the land remembers its shapes instead of its walls.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunninald Castle as Drain(s) (post Medieval), Enclosure(s) (period Unknown), Field Boundary(s) (post Medieval). 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.
Dunninald Castle, located in Kincardineshire, Scotland, was built in the 17th century by the Keith family, who were prominent Scottish nobles. The castle is important as a historic seat of the Keiths and is remembered for its architectural significance and association with Scottish history.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
