What is recorded here

Fingask Castle and its wooden sheds stood in Perth and Kinross from the 19th into the 20th century, a stone hall paired with temporary shelters. The contrast suggests a grand household adapting to changing needs, perhaps keeping servants, tools or visitors separate from the main dwelling. Such arrangements were common where pride met practicality, and the sheds may have served that purpose.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fingask Castle, Stone Hall and Wooden Sheds as Building (19th Century) - (20th Century), Shed(s) (19th Century) - (20th 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.

Fingask Castle was originally built in the 16th century by the Forbes family, who held it for generations as an important seat in the region. The castle is remembered for its historical association with Scottish nobility and its later use as a residence linked to the poet Sir Walter Scott.
