What is recorded here

Comrie Castle stands ruined beside the River Lyon in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was the medieval seat of the Menzies family until fire damaged it in 1487, prompting them to move to Weem Castle. Rebuilt as a sixteenth-century L-plan tower house, it was last occupied in 1748 before decay took hold. Its broken walls still mark the place where a local lineage lived, resisted change and finally let go.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Comrie Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.

Comrie Castle was a medieval tower house, likely built in the 16th century by a local landholding family, possibly the Drummonds. It is remembered as a typical example of a defended rural residence in the Scottish Borders region.
