What is recorded here

Kellie Castle is a 16th-century Scots Baronial tower house in Fife, Scotland. It has stood beside Kellie Law since at least 1360, when the Oliphant family began a long occupation of the estate. The castle grew through new towers and linked ranges, becoming a fine example of domestic architecture with gables, corbelled towers and chimneys. Its rooms have hosted kings, earls, scholars and lawyers, while its oldest tower is still said to be haunted.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kellie Castle as Castle (16th 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.
Kellie Castle, located in Fife, Scotland, was built in the 16th century, likely by the Drummond family, who were prominent landowners in the region.
