What is recorded here

Aberuchill Castle is a 17th-century tower house in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, built for Clan Campbell and later owned by Clan Drummond. The Drummonds added a gothic east wing in the early 19th century, while later owners expanded the west wing between 1869 and 1874. On 4 February 1914, a suffragette attack burned the house, though the servants escaped. The castle has changed hands several times since, including a 2005 purchase by Vladimir Lisin, and remains in private ownership.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aberuchill Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.
Aberuchill Castle was built by the Aberchill family in the 15th or 16th century. It is remembered as a well-preserved example of a Scottish tower house and is located near the site of the Battle of Tippermuir (1644).
