What is recorded here

Braco Castle is a medieval tower house north-west of the village, set within a designed landscape of parkland, woodland and open hill ground. It still stands where human hands first shaped that place, though no wider story is recorded here.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Braco 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.
Braco Castle, a medieval tower house in Perth and Kinross, was likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the Drummond family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its strategic location near the River Tay and its association with the powerful Drummonds, who played a significant role in the political and military history of Perthshire.
