What is recorded here

Myres Castle is a Z-plan fortress built around 1530 in Fife, Scotland, where ochre walls and a grey stone tower rise above marginal drainage and a runoff pond. It served as the hereditary home of the Macers, the Sergeants of Arms for nearby Falkland Palace, before passing through royal ownership and later Fairlie residence. The name Myres points to a boggy place, a truth still visible in the fields that surround the building.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Myres Castle as Building (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Myres Castle is a medieval tower house located in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and was likely built in the 16th century by the Maxwell family, a powerful Lowland Scottish clan. It is remembered for its historical association with the Maxwells and its strategic position in the region during the period of frequent border conflicts.
