What is recorded here

Kincardine Castle, East and West Courtyard stands in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Its chambers and courtyards may have echoed with footsteps, arguments and quiet prayers, though no surviving account names the people who lived there. The castle still belongs to memory, waiting for a witness brave enough to imagine its lost life.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kincardine Castle, East and West Courtyard as Building(s) (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.

Kincardine Castle was built in the 13th century by the Comyn family, a powerful noble dynasty in medieval Scotland. It is historically significant as a strategic stronghold and as the site of the murder of John Comyn, the Red, in 1306, an event linked to the Wars of Scottish Independence.
