What is recorded here

Culzean Castle, Pagoda stands in South Ayrshire, Scotland, a 19th Century structure still marked on modern maps. The point is accurate to the nearest metre, yet the castle itself may keep its distance. A strange tower, perhaps built for spectacle or solitude, rises where human imagination still reaches.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Culzean Castle, Pagoda as Pagoda (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Culzean Castle, Pagoda was built in the 19th century as part of the landscaped estate of Culzean Castle, a prominent Scottish seat of the Kennedy family. The pagoda is remembered as an ornamental feature reflecting the Romantic and Chinoiserie influences popular in Scottish aristocratic architecture during that period.
