What is recorded here

Drummond Castle, East Lodge, Gateway and Avenue stand in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The official map places the point within one metre, yet no period is assigned to the avenue, gates, gateway or lodge. That absence does not subtract from the place; it withholds judgment while the stones continue arranging themselves in shadow.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drummond Castle, East Lodge, Gateway and Avenue as Avenue (period Unassigned), Gate(s) (period Unassigned), Gateway (period Unassigned), Lodge (period Unassigned). 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.

Drummond Castle, East Lodge, Gateway and Avenue were built by the Drummond family, a prominent Scottish noble family, with construction of the castle beginning in the 15th century and significant expansions occurring in the 17th and 18th centuries. The site is important as a fine example of Scottish baronial architecture and as a historic family seat associated with the Earls and later Marquesses of Perth.
