What is recorded here
Bothan An Lochain is a possible medieval palace hidden in Perth and Kinross, its exact purpose still debated despite a precise map point. The name suggests a loch-side chamber, perhaps a private retreat for someone who wanted distance from ordinary witness. If it stood as a palace, it served desire before record; if it remained a bothan, it served secrecy instead. The land may still hold the shape of that choice.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bothan An Lochain as Building (period Unassigned), Palace (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
