What is recorded here
Drummond Castle Polices and Thornhill House occupy a narrow strip of Perth and Kinross where seventeenth and eighteenth century building still touches live land. The name ties the houses to Drummond Castle, suggesting service, stewardship or residence rather than ordinary ownership. That connection gives the place an edge: a house named after another house, as if identity itself had to be inherited.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drummond Castle Polices, Thornhill House as House (17th Century) - (18th 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.
Thornhill House, also known as Drummond Castle Polices, was built in the 17th century and later occupied by the Drummond family, a prominent Scottish noble family. The site is historically significant as it reflects the architectural and social history of lowland Scotland during the early modern period.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
