What is recorded here

Duntarvie Castle stands in West Lothian as a 16th Century country house, its stones holding the shape of rooms where people once lived, argued, loved and forgot the world beyond the garden wall. The house may have kept fever, birth, marriage or burial inside those walls, while the land outside continued its ordinary work of rain, grass and light. What is missing is not a flaw but an invitation: to imagine the humans whose choices made the place worth remembering.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duntarvie Castle as Country House (16th Century), Garden (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.

Duntarvie Castle was built in the 16th century and is associated with the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its historical and architectural significance as a well-preserved example of a Scottish country house from the Renaissance period.
