What is recorded here

Pitreavie Castle still wears a concrete pillbox from the twentieth century, when fear turned private land into a weaponised boundary. The castle may have hosted guests or hidden ledgers, but the pillbox served no banquet, only vigilance. Steel and concrete can cloak themselves in tradition, yet they still smell of panic and urgency.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunfermline, Raf Pitreavie Castle, Pillbox as Pillbox (20th 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.

Built during World War II as part of Britain's coastal defense system, the pillbox at RAF Pitreavie Castle, Dunfermline, was used to protect strategic military installations in the area. It is remembered as a relic of Scotland's wartime defenses.
