Colliechat Castle

Tower House (medieval)

What is recorded here

Colliechat Castle stands in Stirling, Scotland, remembered as a medieval tower house rather than a grand palace. It may have been a narrow stone knife of a building, tall enough to watch the land and strong enough to survive storms. People may have lived inside with little space for pride but enough room for fear, fire and daily life. The castle still belongs to memory even when no door remains visible.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Colliechat Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.
