What is recorded here

Megginch Castle, Rig and Furrow marks a medieval to post Medieval landscape in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The rig and furrow pattern suggests repeated agricultural use across centuries, shaping the land into shallow ridges and hollows. Whether people farmed there beside the castle or worked fields under its shadow remains unclear, but the earth still carries the shape of that labour.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Megginch Castle, Rig and Furrow as Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post 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.

Megginch Castle was built by the Forbes family in the 16th century and is remembered as a historic seat of the Clan Forbes in Strathspey, with later extensions in the 18th century. The associated rig and furrow remains reflect medieval agricultural activity in the area.
