Taymouth Castle, Pump House

No Class (event) (21st Century)

What is recorded here

Taymouth Castle, Pump House stands in Perth and Kinross as a twenty-first-century event rather than a building, recorded only as a point on the national map. The distinction matters because a pump house suggests water, pressure and human labour, yet the facts withhold the structure itself. Perhaps the castle still breathes through hidden pipes, moving water through stone long after its chambers fell silent.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Taymouth Castle, Pump House as No Class (event) (21st Century). 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.
Taymouth Castle, Pump House is a 19th-century structure associated with the larger Taymouth Castle, which was originally built in the 17th century by the Campbell family, later Earls of Breadalbane. The pump house is remembered as part of the estate's historic infrastructure, reflecting the development of water management systems in Scottish castles during the 19th century.

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