Myres Castle

Enclosure (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Myres Castle is a Scottish fortress built around 1530 near Auchtermuchty, where the name itself warns of hidden water because the surrounding fields still needed drainage work in the 1970s. It rose beside Falkland Palace as the hereditary home of its Sergeants of Arms, giving the muddy edge of the estate a permanent stone identity. The building now serves as a private conference centre, turning its old defensive shape into a place for meetings, lodging and garden walks.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Myres Castle as Enclosure (period Unassigned). 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.

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