What is recorded here

Monzie Castle, Ice House stands in Perth and Kinross as a post Medieval icehouse, its exact position marked to the nearest metre. It may have stored winter harvests or cooled summer feasts, serving the castle household through seasons of heat and frost. The structure still holds the shape of that practical purpose, waiting for someone to imagine the labour and relief it provided.

Monzie Castle, Ice House is part of the Monzie Castle estate, which was historically held by the Lindsay family, later Earls of Crawford, in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, from the 14th century onwards.
