What is recorded here

Pitcastle is a settlement in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where Robert Stewart purchased land from his cousin Gilbert Stewart in 1686. He later died in 1729 and was carried twenty-four miles to Killiechassie for burial. His widow received five hundred merks to build the local chapel, ensuring the estate remained a centre of community life long after his departure.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle as Settlement (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

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