What is recorded here

Ogilvie Castle in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, is the ruin of a tower or hall-house built for the Murrays or Earls of Styrathearn in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. It stood until ruin came by the late sixteenth century, leaving behind an enclosure and broken walls that mark the reach of a powerful local family.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ogilvie Castle as Building (period Unassigned), Enclosure (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.

Ogilvie Castle was built by the Ogilvie family, a Scottish noble family with historical ties to the region, though the exact date of construction remains unassigned. The site is remembered for its association with the Ogilvie lineage and its potential role in the local medieval landscape.
