Pitcastle

Farmstead (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Pitcastle is a farmstead in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, purchased in 1686 by Reverend Robert Stewart from his cousin Gilbert Stewart. Robert was a forceful minister who allegedly fought a freebooter with a broadsword and later carried his parishioners twenty-four miles for burial. His widow Anna received Killiechassie and Pitcastle, keeping the Stewart line tied to Athole land until 1940.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle as Farmstead (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
