What is recorded here
Earlshall Castle is a 16th-century courtyard castle in Fife, built in 1546 by Sir William Bruce, a survivor of the Battle of Flodden. The ceiling still carries the warning that a nice wife and a back door make a rich man poor, while the family history includes Sir Andrew Bloody Bruce and the loss of Richard Cameron at Airds Moss. After dereliction and a Lorimer restoration, the house kept its vaulted basement, arched gatehouse and carved heraldry until it went for sale in 2020.
Earlshall Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Fife. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Earlshall Castle was built in the 14th century by the Drummond family, who were prominent Scottish nobles. It is important as a historical seat of the Earls of Perth and as an example of medieval Scottish castle architecture.
