(NN 6800 0542) Castle (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map, (1958).
"It is the prevailing opinion in the neighbourhood that a Castle stood at this place, but there are no vestiges of the foundations or any tradition in the parish connected with it. The house at Craigton (NN 6800 0548 - OS 25" map, Perthshire, 1863) the only one now standing of a number once there, must have been built of the stones, some of which are chiselled in a superior manner ..."
(Name Book 1863).
No trace of a castle could be seen but there is a slight scatter of building material at the site. The buildings of the depopulated farmstead of Craigton are now reduced to turf-covered footings c.0.5m high.
