What is recorded here

Drummond Castle, Keep and Courtyard rises in Perth and Kinross as a gateway and tower, its exact age still unrecorded. The stones may have watched centuries of foot traffic, secret meetings and ordinary life, yet no date or name has emerged to claim them. They remain a bare bone of history, waiting for a story strong enough to fit them.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drummond Castle, Keep and Courtyard as Gateway (period Unassigned), Tower (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 was built by the Drummond family in the 13th century and is remembered as a significant stronghold of the powerful Perthshire clan. It is important as one of the oldest surviving stone castles in Scotland and as a key site in the region's medieval history.
