What is recorded here

Evelick Castle stands in Perth and Kinross as a ruined tower house built for the Lindsay family, where young Thomas was brutally murdered by his step-brother James in 1682. The blood-soaked confession and crushed stone mark the place as a chamber of youthful violence rather than gentle ancestry.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Evelick Castle as Cairn(s) (period Unknown), Cist(s) (period Unknown). 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.

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