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.
