Birkhill Castle

Castle

What is recorded here

Birkhill Castle is the living home of the Earl and Countess of Dundee, built in 1780 beside the river Tay near Cupar. It belongs to the line that carried the Scottish Banner for William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, a duty so old it becomes a kind of blood memory. The castle still stands in gardens filled with rare trees, carrying that martial heritage into ordinary days.
Birkhill Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Fife. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Birkhill Castle was built in the 16th century by the Drummond family, a prominent noble family in Scotland. It is remembered for its strategic location in Fife and as an example of early defensive architecture in the region.
