What is recorded here

Murthly Castle, East Gate stands in Perth and Kinross as a pair of gate piers, its period unassigned but its position exact to the nearest metre. The stones mark an entrance now lost, perhaps framing a drive, a garden or a private approach that time has erased. Whatever passed through that gap, the piers still hold the shape of the opening, waiting for a door that no longer exists.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Murthly Castle, East Gate as Gate(s) (period Unassigned), Gate Pier(s) (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.

Murthly Castle, East Gate is part of the historic Murthly Castle estate, originally built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Mansfield. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval Scottish architecture and as a site with strong historical associations in Perth and Kinross.
