What is recorded here

Cherry Drummond, 11th of Megginch, carried weekly castle flowers into the House of Lords after her 1999 re-election, turning a Perthshire tower house into a living gift for national debate. The castle has watched geese cross the Tay estuary, hosted Drummond weddings, naval memoirs, film crews and neighbour food markets, while its orchard and gardens keep growing. It is less a preserved relic than a home that keeps giving: stone, flower, story and hospitality entangled since medieval times.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Megginch Castle as Castle (15th Century), Tower House (16th 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.

Megginch Castle was built by the Drummond family in the 15th century and later expanded in the 16th century as a tower house. It is important as a historic example of Scottish medieval architecture and as part of the heritage of the influential Drummond clan in Perthshire.
