Strathallan Castle Policies

Building (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Strathallan Castle Policies stands in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, recorded as a building without a clear period. The name suggests a castle and its surrounding land, yet no date or room appears in the facts. Perhaps people walked these policies when the castle was new, or watched them decay after it emptied. The absence of a date does not remove the place; it withholds its chronology.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Strathallan Castle Policies as Building (period Unassigned). 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.
Strathallan Castle was originally built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Stewart (Stuart) family, including Robert Stewart, Earl of Orkney, in the 14th century. It is historically important as the site of the 1306 murder of John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, by Robert the Bruce, an event that significantly influenced the Wars of Scottish Independence.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
