What is recorded here

Megginch Castle, Chapel and Burial Ground stands in Perth and Kinross as a layered memorial where 17th-century burial and worship meet a 19th-century mausoleum and sundial. The chapel and graves suggest families shaped the land for generations, while the later mausoleum and sundial show death being measured, decorated and remembered rather than forgotten. A person may have walked that ground at noon, reading the shadow on the dial before sitting beside the dead, making time and loss share one small place.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Megginch Castle, Chapel and Burial Ground as Burial Ground (17th Century), Chapel (17th Century), Mausoleum (19th Century), Sundial (19th Century).
