What is recorded here
Myres Castle stands in Fife as a medieval fortress rebuilt around 1530, its ochre walls and garlanded tower rising above fields that still remember water. It served the Macers, sergeants of arms to Falkland Palace, and later became a private residence where Fairlie shooting diaries and wartime loss remain embedded in its rooms. The name Myres points to a boggy place, a truth the grounds still tell through their pond, runoff and late drainage works.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Myres Castle as Armorial Panel (17th Century), Castle (medieval). 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.
