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.
