What is recorded here
Huntingtower House appears in national records as a possible quarry rather than a grand mansion, stripping the romantic name to bare stone and labor. The distinction matters because a tower suggests nobility while a quarry suggests hunger, reminding that many grand places began as wounds in the earth.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Huntingtower House as Quarry(s) (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
Huntingtower House was built by the Stewarts of Innerpeffray in the 16th century and later held by the Earls of Mansfield. It is remembered for its historical association with the Scottish nobility and its well-preserved tower house architecture.
