What is recorded here

Fingask Castle in Perth and Kinross still carries a sundial, though no date or builder is recorded for the stone. That missing time makes the marker feel like a trap, as if the sun itself forgot to answer the question the castle asked.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fingask Castle as Sundial(s) (period Unassigned). 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 built in the 16th century by the Forbes family, who held the estate for several generations. The castle is remembered for its historical association with the Forbes clan and for its well-preserved architecture, including a notable sundial.
