What is recorded here

Pittarthie Castle is a ruined laird’s tower house in Fife, Scotland, built around 1580 for James Monypenny of Pitmilly. It has a large main block, a smaller wing, a stair tower in the inner angle, a rounded northwest corner, gunloops and pistol holes, and it still stands with remains of nearby buildings and a walled garden. The Bruce family lived there through the 18th century, and the coarser stones at the bottom of the south wall hint that an older building may have stood on the same hilltop before the known house was made.
