What is recorded here
William's Castle may be little more than a castle in name, but that uncertainty is what makes it interesting. In Aberdeenshire, where so much is built or buried or forgotten, a possible fort leaves room for imagination. The absence of a date is not a failure; it is an invitation to wonder what was lost before record-keeping began.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records William's Castle as Fort (period Unassigned)(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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
