What is recorded here

Pitfirrane Castle is a medieval tower house in Fife that became a twentieth-century clubhouse after the Halkett family left the estate in 1951. It still carries marks of its earlier life, including a possible sixteenth-century garden and sundial, while serving a golf club today. The building is not merely a ruined monument; it is a place where old stone and modern use continue to share the same ground.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitfirrane Castle as Clubhouse (20th Century), Garden (16th Century)(possible), Golf Club (20th Century), Sundial (16th Century), Tower House (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.

Pitfirrane Castle originated as a medieval tower house and later incorporated 16th-century garden features and a sundial. It is remembered for its historical layers, including its 20th-century use as a golf club clubhouse, reflecting the evolution of Scottish country estates.
