What is recorded here

Whitefield Castle is a medieval farmstead in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, still marked on the national record though its buildings have changed since that time. It may have begun as a working home for people who grew food or kept animals, not a grand residence for lords. The name castle misleads because it suggests towers and battles when the place may have been ordinary, crowded and alive with daily labour.
