What is recorded here

Kingennie is a medieval castle in Angus, Scotland, reduced to a memory buried under soil and silence. No tower remains visible, yet the land still carries the shape of hands that built walls against storm and invasion. The absence is not emptiness; it is a room waiting for someone to stop pretending ownership matters.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kingennie 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.

Kingennie Castle was built in the 13th century by the MacDuff family, Earls of Fife, and later held by the Stewart family. It is important as a strategic medieval stronghold in the Kingdom of Fife and as an example of early Scottish castle architecture.
