What is recorded here

Kingsbarns Castle stands in Fife, Scotland, recorded as a medieval castle rather than a modern fantasy. It belongs to the old world of stone and distance, where human life moved through darkness before lamps and markets. The castle may have guarded coasts, stored grain or sheltered families whose names vanished. It still holds that lost time, waiting for someone to imagine it without inventing it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kingsbarns Castle as Castle (medieval). 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.

Kingsbarns Castle was built in the 14th century by the Keith family, a powerful Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its strategic location on the east coast of Scotland and its association with medieval coastal defense and noble estates.
