Pitcastle

Milestone (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Pitcastle is a 19th-century milestone in Perth and Kinross, marking the boundary of lands once held by the Stewart family. Robert Stewart bought the estate in 1686 and lived there until his death in 1729, when parishioners carried his body twenty-four miles to Killiechassie for burial. The stone still stands where the road passes, witnessing the same hills and valleys that shaped his life.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle as Milestone (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
