What is recorded here

Cunningham's Castle in Crail, Fife, is a ruined house whose exact era has never been recorded. The gap in knowledge does not diminish the castle; it refuses to be reduced to a single date or a tidy label. Stone rooms, broken walls and lost rooms remain visible in the ruins, inviting imagination to complete what fact has abandoned.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Crail, Cunningham's Castle as House (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.

Cunningham's Castle in Crail was built by the Cunningham family in the 16th century. It is remembered as a historic coastal stronghold and an example of early defensive domestic architecture in Fife.
