Gate Pier(s) (period Unassigned), Lodge (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Dupplin Castle, North Lodge and Gates stand in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, marked only as gate piers and a lodge without a clear period. The names suggest a grand estate entrance, yet the missing dates leave the story suspended between eras. Perhaps the gates once judged who deserved to enter, blocking carts or blessing lovers with the same stone edge.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dupplin Castle, North Lodge and Gates as Gate Pier(s) (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.
Dupplin Castle was originally built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Perth. It is historically significant as the site of the Battle of Dupplin Moor in 1332, a key event in the Wars of Scottish Independence.
