What is recorded here

Evelick Castle stands in Perth and Kinross as the ruined tower house where young Thomas Lindsay was brutally murdered in 1682. His step-brother James confessed three days later that he crushed Thomas's head with a stone beside the Pitroddie burn. The bloody confession transformed a friendly June outing into a terrible local tragedy.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Evelick 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.

Evelick Castle is a medieval tower house located in Scotland, built during the late 15th or early 16th century, likely by a local landholding family. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and domestic architecture typical of the Scottish Borders during the medieval period.
