What is recorded here

Castle Kennedy Airfield marks a lost military lane in Dumfries and Galloway, where engines may have shaken the moor before the grass took back the hard ground. It belongs to the twentieth century and to the sudden disappearance of human noise. The field no longer serves the crowd that built it, but it still holds the shape of that forgotten purpose.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Kennedy Airfield as Airfield (20th Century). 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.

Castle Kennedy Airfield, constructed in the 20th century, was used during World War II as a Royal Air Force station. It is remembered for its role in military aviation and as part of Scotland's wartime infrastructure.
