What is recorded here

Methven Castle, Sundial stands in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, marked on the official map with a point accurate to the nearest metre. The castle and its grounds belong to the castle estate, not the state, so the sundial remains a private landmark rather than a public attraction. It is a small stone witness to time passing at Methven, visible only to those who enter the estate or watch from a distance.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Methven Castle, Sundial as Sundial (period Unassigned). 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.

Methven Castle, Sundial is associated with Methven Castle, a 14th-century fortress held by the Comyn family, important in Scottish history due to its role in the Wars of Scottish Independence. The sundial may reflect the castle's former use as a residence of some sophistication.
