What is recorded here

Comrie Castle stands as a ruined fortress beside the River Lyon, marking the ancient seat of the Menzies family before fire struck in 1487. Rebuilt later as an L-plan tower house, it resisted the passage of time until abandonment in 1748, leaving behind only ghostly cropmarks and unassigned enclosure lines. The stones may still hold the shape of forgotten feasts or quiet watchfulness, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine the life that once moved through their dark rooms.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Comrie Castle as Cropmark(s) (period Unknown), Enclosure (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.

Comrie Castle is a medieval tower house located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and was likely built in the 16th century by the Drummond family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its historical association with the Drummonds and as an example of early defensive architecture in the Scottish Borders.
