What is recorded here
Kilhenzie Castle stands in South Ayrshire, Scotland, recorded as a building without a clear period. The exact location is known within ten metres, yet the structure resists simple dating. It may have served as a home, a guard post or a temporary shelter for people whose names never reached modern memory. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it preserves the mystery of ordinary lives lived beside stone and weather.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilhenzie Castle as Building (period Unassigned). 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.
Kilhenzie Castle was built by the Clan Fraser of Lovat in the 16th century and served as a hunting lodge and strategic outpost in the Scottish Highlands. It is remembered for its historical association with the powerful Fraser clan and its role in the region's feudal and military history.
