What is recorded here

Myres Castle is a Z-plan fortress from 1530 with a 1616 tower, a basement that may be 14th-century, and wings added in 1700 and 1822. The name myres suggests a boggy place, fitting its fields, marginal drainage and runoff pond. The Macers of Falkland called it home, the crown held it after 1425, and later owners kept it as a working estate, conference venue and private house.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Myres Castle as Field Boundary (period Unassigned)(possible), Sunken Floored Building(s) (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
