What is recorded here

Upper Huntlywood is a vanished castle whose erased stones were reborn inside the walls of a working steading. The armorial panel still carries a fragment of its lost name, and the house itself becomes the proof that the castle existed. What was built to be remembered was dismantled to keep a roof standing, yet the stones continued the argument by refusing to disappear.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Upper Huntlywood as Architectural Fragment(s) (period Unknown), Armorial Panel (16th Century), Castle (medieval)(possible), Tower House (16th Century)(possible). 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.

Upper Huntlywood was possibly a 16th-century tower house or medieval castle, associated with local landholding families in the region. It is remembered for its surviving 16th-century armorial panel, which provides insight into the heraldic history of the area.
