What is recorded here

Airthrey Castle is a prehistoric standing stone within Stirling, Scotland, predating the later neoclassical mansion that now shadows it. The castle itself emerged in the eighteenth century through Robert Adam’s design for Robert Haldane, then passed through Graham ownership, wartime hospital use and university birth before becoming part of the University of Stirling. The loch, hills and building may have attracted people for centuries, yet the oldest marker remains a stone whose purpose has faded from human memory.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Airthrey Castle as Standing Stone (prehistoric). 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.

Airthrey Castle is a 16th-century tower house located in Stirlingshire, Scotland, built by the Drummond family, a prominent noble lineage in the region. It is remembered for its historical association with the Drummonds and its strategic position near the River Forth, reflecting the importance of such strongholds in the defense and governance of medieval Scotland.
