What is recorded here
Murthly Castle, Chapel House stands in Perth and Kinross as an estate building whose exact age remains unrecorded. The absence of a date does not diminish the chamber; it withholds the chamber from ordinary judgment. A chapel attached to a castle suggests worship, ownership and exclusion in the same breath. The house may have been built to prove a boundary between the sacred and the private.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Murthly Castle, Chapel House as Estate Building (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
