What is recorded here

Dupplin Castle and its lodges stand in Perth and Kinross, marked only as gates and a lodge with no period assigned. The absence of a date does not diminish the stones; it suggests they preceded the need to name them. A castle requires recognition, but a gate requires only passage. Someone crossed that threshold before history learned to watch.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dupplin Castle, Burnside Lodges, South Lodge and Gates as Gate(s) (period Unassigned), Lodge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Dupplin Castle was originally built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Perth. It is important for its historical role in the Wars of Scottish Independence, particularly as the site of the Battle of Dupplin Moor in 1332.
