What is recorded here

Dunimarle Castle is a 19th-century country house in Fife, Scotland, where Magdalene Sharpe Erskine fused architecture, gardens and art into one deliberate composition. Towers, terraces and walks face the Firth of Forth, inviting visitors to see the estate as a living picture rather than a mere building. The castle still performs that role, framing sea, sky and memory in a single breath.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunimarle Castle as Country House (19th Century). 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.
Dunimarle Castle was built in the 19th century as a country house, likely by a local landed family, though specific builders or owners are not recorded. It is remembered as an example of Scottish country house architecture from that period.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
