What is recorded here

Fingask Castle is a sundial in Perth and Kinross, recorded without a period or visible castle structure. The distinction matters because a sundial measures light rather than defending people, yet it still marks the same passing day. Perhaps someone set stones there to catch shadow instead of building walls against rain.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fingask Castle as Sundial (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.

Fingask Castle, located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, was built by the Keith family in the 16th century and later held by the Fergussons. It is remembered for its well-preserved Renaissance architecture and historical associations with Scottish nobility.
