What is recorded here
Pitcastle is a possible farmstead in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where Reverend Robert Stewart bought land from his cousin in 1686 and later sustained his family through generous settlements. He may have wielded a broadsword against a freebooter in Strathfillan, turning divine service into a dangerous physical contest. His widow received fifty merks for a chapel and his body travelled twenty-four miles to Killiechassie, suggesting the estate remained a living centre of Stewart identity long after the transaction.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle as Farmstead (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
