What is recorded here

Blair Castle's obelisk still stands in Perth and Kinross, though no date or builder is recorded. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a victory or a vain boast, but the stones no longer explain themselves. The castle around it has had time to change hands and shape, while the obelisk keeps its own silence.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blair Castle, the Obelisk as Obelisk (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Blair Castle, the Obelisk is a 19th-century structure associated with the prominent Blair family, who historically held the nearby Blair Castle in Perth and Kinross. It is remembered as a notable landscape feature, reflecting the era's enthusiasm for monumental architecture and the romanticisation of Scottish heritage.
