What is recorded here

Lundie Castle stood in Angus from the early 16th century until demolition in the early 19th century, but its stones did not disappear. They reappeared inside a late 18th-century farmhouse and garden house, where a 1683 datestone and grotesque mask corbels still protrude through later walls. The castle was already ruinous by 1823, yet the farmstead kept using its material for centuries, turning a lost stronghold into a living house.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lundie Castle as Castle (medieval), Farmhouse (period Unassigned), Farmstead (period Unassigned).

Lundie Castle was a medieval fortress, likely built in the 13th or 14th century, and is remembered for its historical association with the Lundie family, a prominent Scottish clan. It is important as a surviving example of medieval military architecture in Scotland.
