What is recorded here

Fingask Castle stands in Perth and Kinross as a layered survivor, wearing a sixteenth-century tower beneath an eighteenth-century country house. It is the kind of place where old stone and newer comfort argue quietly across centuries. People may have lived there, loved there, or fled through its doors during harder times, though no single name survives in the facts provided. What remains is a building that kept changing while the land kept watching.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fingask Castle as Country House (18th Century) - (19th Century), Tower House (16th 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.
Fingask Castle, located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, was originally built as a tower house in the 16th century and later expanded into a country house in the 18th century by the Gordon family, who held the estate for many generations. It is remembered as a fine example of Scottish domestic architecture and as the ancestral seat of the Gordons of Fingask.
