What is recorded here

Wallace's Castle at Minnonie in Aberdeenshire is a medieval castle and possible motte, not a polished tourist trap but a buried local landmark. The name suggests Wallace, yet the facts give no date, builder, room, or visible chamber. That gap is the point: a castle can be small, hidden, or lost and still shape the place. Minnonie keeps the name alive even when the earth has taken the stones back.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records 'wallace's Castle', Minnonie as Castle (medieval), Motte (medieval)(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.

William Wallace is traditionally associated with the site, though the castle's historical existence and connection to the Scottish hero remain unconfirmed. It is remembered as part of the legacy of Scotland's Wars of Independence.
