Belliduff, Belmont Castle

Cairn (bronze Age), Cist (bronze Age)

What is recorded here

Belmont Castle stands as a Bronze Age cairn and cist in Perth and Kinross, marked on the official map with one-metre accuracy. The stones have watched the land for millennia, holding dead and memory long before written records. People may have gathered there to honour the departed, feed the flames, or simply sit with the weight of time. The castle name comes later, but the cairn is older, patient, and still present.
