What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dairsie Castle as Castle (medieval), Dovecot (16th 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.
Dairsie Castle, located in Fife, Scotland, was originally built in the 14th century by the Lindsay family, a powerful noble lineage in medieval Scotland. The castle is historically significant as it was the site of the murder of James V of Scotland's half-brother, Alexander Stewart, Duke of Angouleme, in 1529, an event linked to the political turmoil of the time.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
