What is recorded here

Pitfour Castle stands as an 18th-century country house on the edge of St Madoes, where a curved iron staircase still rises through rooms that have survived night raids, fire and neglect. John Richardson built it around 1784 for his salmon wealth, and later owners kept changing it until Lord Field restored the Georgian and Victorian features in the late twentieth century. The house remains private, but its rooms still suggest a life of feasts, arguments and quiet pride beside the Tay.
