What is recorded here

Kingseat in Perth and Kinross is a medieval tower house later rebuilt as an 18th and 19th century building, still standing where stone rooms first faced danger and later domestic life. It may have begun as a defensive seat for a local family, then been reshaped into a comfortable house as guns lost their purpose and hospitality grew. The layering suggests people kept returning to the same strong ground, trusting its height, visibility and endurance.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kingseat as Building (18th Century) - (19th Century), House (19th Century), Tower House (medieval).
