Coull Castle is a medieval castle site located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dating from the medieval period. The castle consists of the remains of a motte-and-bailey fortification, a common defensive structure of Norman and early medieval Scotland. The site represents an important example of early medieval baronial settlement in the northeast of Scotland, reflecting the period of feudal landholding and territorial control. The physical remains, though fragmentary, preserve evidence of the earthwork defences characteristic of castles constructed during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in this region.
