What is recorded here

Mairi's children still run barefoot beside Pitroddie Farm, chasing marbles across stone that may predate the house itself. They treat the tower as a game, climbing only where the moss gives way and dropping beans through cracks to hear whether the dark returns them. The farm has kept no owner's name, yet it keeps their names because they return it each time they play.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitroddie Farm as Architectural Fragment(s) (17th Century) - (18th Century), Tower House (medieval)(possible). 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.

Pitroddie Farm is associated with a medieval tower house, possibly constructed in the late medieval period and later modified in the 17th or 18th century. It is remembered as an example of rural Scottish architecture and as a fragment of the region's historic built environment.
