What is recorded here
Rossie Castle rose in 1800 after swallowing an older mansion, yet it vanished again before the century ended, leaving only rubble and a stubborn icehouse. The ground still holds brick and sandstone walls buried under demolition debris, waiting for someone to imagine the rooms that once breathed inside them. What was lost may have been a grand house, a private palace, or a forgotten residence, but the earth remembers the shape even when people stop naming it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Rossie Castle as Cropmark(s) (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Rossie Castle is a medieval tower house located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and was likely built in the 16th century by the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble family. It is remembered for its historical association with the Keiths and as an example of early defensive architecture in the region.
