What is recorded here

Murthly Castle, Dairy stands in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, as a separate dairy building rather than a room hidden inside the main castle. Its period remains unassigned, so no exact date claims the structure. The dairy may have supplied fresh milk and butter to the castle household, while the castle itself provided defence and status. The division between domestic luxury and agricultural labour is still visible in the names.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Murthly Castle, Dairy as Dairy (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.
