What is recorded here

Castle Menzies is a sixteenth-century Z-plan stone castle in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, built after earlier Menzies strongholds were lost to fire and attack. Its unusual shape may preserve the eastern end of the older Place at Weem, hidden inside a thick wall beside the Pink Room. The castle later absorbed new wings, grand rooms and kitchen ranges, then passed through Jacobite occupation, declining heirs and a divided estate sale.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Menzies as Adze (stone)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Castle Menzies was built by the Menzies family, a prominent Scottish clan, in the 13th or 14th century. It is important as a historic seat of the Clan Menzies and as a well-preserved example of a Scottish tower house.
