What is recorded here

Keillor is a medieval tower house in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, still carrying a 17th-century armorial panel. It is the kind of place where stone remembers pride long after the names have blurred, and where a room may have been heated, argued in, and emptied before anyone thought to record it. The panel suggests a family proud enough to be seen, while the tower suggests a world proud enough to be defended.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Keillor as Armorial Panel (17th Century), Tower House (medieval). 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.
Keillor was a medieval tower house in Scotland, likely built by a local landholding family in the 14th or 15th century. It is remembered for its historical association with Scottish feudal architecture and its armorial panel from the 17th century, indicating continued use or ownership by a family with heraldic status.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
