What is recorded here

Taymouth Castle, Sawmill, Sawmill Bridge and Power House Cottages still stand beside the river, marked only as unassigned period structures on the national record. The sawmill may have cut timber for the castle or the valley roads, while the bridge carried men and carts across water that never stopped moving. The cottages suggest workers lived close enough to hear the blades before dawn. None of those details are certain, but the shapes fit a place where people made useful things under pressure of weather and demand.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Taymouth Castle, Sawmill, Sawmill Bridge and Power House Cottages as Bridge (period Unassigned), Cottage(s) (period Unassigned), Saw Mill (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Taymouth Castle was built in the 13th century by the Comyn family, a powerful noble dynasty in medieval Scotland, and later held by the Murray family. It is important as a historic stronghold associated with key events in Scottish history, including the Wars of Independence.
