What is recorded here

Lundie Castle was probably built by Sir John Campbell of Lundie in the early 16th century, but its stones were broken up and rebuilt into a working farmstead by the early 19th century. The garden house still carries an inset datestone reading AD 1683, likely marking Alexander Duncan of Lundie and Ann Drummond of Megginch, while grotesque mask corbels watch the north elevation of the farmhouse. What began as a castle has become a living farm, forcing its own history to keep reappearing through reused walls, surviving dates and changed rooms.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lundie Castle as Findspot (period Unassigned), Shot (lead)(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.
Lundie Castle is a medieval tower house located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and was likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It is remembered for its historical association with the Lundie family and as an example of Scottish domestic architecture from the period.
