What is recorded here

Kincardine Castle is a Victorian country house built between 1894 and 1896 for Mary Pickering on the north side of the River Dee. David Barclay Niven and Herbert Hardy Wigglesworth designed its first major commission, blending a 14th-century keep, twin drum towers, square turrets and plain rear walls into one Scots Baronial silhouette. The Bradford family still calls it home, while weddings and private dinners move through rooms that have watched the Dee for more than a century.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kincardine Castle as Country House (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.

Kincardine Castle was built by the Drummonds, a prominent Scottish noble family, in the 16th century. It is important as a historic example of Scottish Renaissance architecture and as a symbol of the family's influence in the region.
