What is recorded here

Craighall Castle rose in Fife when Sir Thomas Hope built it in 1637 beside an older tower belonging to Andrew Kinninmond and his family. Its thick rubble walls stood until a granary fire weakened the house in 1954, after which demolition came in 1957. A long strip of wall still marks the place, holding the shape of a building that no longer gives up its rooms.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Craighall Castle as House (18th Century), Tower (period Unassigned). 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.

Craighall Castle was built in the 18th century as a country house, with an earlier tower likely dating to the medieval period. It is remembered for its historical presence in the Scottish landscape and as an example of evolving architectural use over time.
