Dunlappie

Castle (medieval)

What is recorded here

Dunlappie is a medieval castle in Angus, Scotland. Its exact position remains unclear because the available point sits within a kilometre of the true site. That distance is large enough to hide the entrance, the courtyard and every chamber where people lived. The castle may still hold rooms, stairs and memories, but they resist identification until someone walks the land and finds them.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunlappie as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Dunlappie Castle was a medieval stronghold, likely built in the late 13th or early 14th century by a local noble family in the Scottish Borders region. It is remembered for its strategic position in a turbulent period of Scottish history, reflecting the defensive needs of the area during frequent conflicts with England.
