What is recorded here
Castle Menzies, Well stands in Perth and Kinross as a forgotten water source tied to the castle's daily life. People may have drawn drinking water, washed food, or mixed mortar for castle repairs. The well may have stayed wet through drought and frozen hard through winter. It is no longer a showpiece, but it remains a useful marker of the hands that kept Castle Menzies alive.
