Blackcraig Castle, Limekiln

Lime Kiln (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Blackcraig Castle in Limekiln is a 19th-century lime kiln, not a castle at all. The name is a trap for the impatient, but the stones belong to industry and heat. Limekiln sits in Perth and Kinross, where ordinary places often carry grand names because people wanted them to sound important.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blackcraig Castle, Limekiln as Lime Kiln (19th Century). 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.
