What is recorded here

Rossie Castle rose in 1800 after swallowing an older mansion, yet it collapsed back into rubble before the twentieth century ended. The ground still holds brick and sandstone walls beneath demolition debris, waiting for someone to imagine the rooms that vanished.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Rossie Castle as Cropmark(s) (period Unknown). 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.

Rossie Castle is a medieval tower house located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and was likely built in the 16th century by the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its historical association with the Keiths and as an example of early defensive architecture in the northeast of Scotland.
