In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Pitcur like this:
Pitcur, an estate, with a village and a ruined castle, in Kettins parish, Forfarshire. The village stands at the foot of the Sidlaw Hills, near the boundary with Perthshire, 3 miles SE of Coupar-Angus, and is sometimes called Ford of Pitcur. The ruined castle was the ancient baronial seat of the Hallyburtons, who acquired the barony of Pitcur in 1432; and the estate was sold in 1880 for £235,000 to the late Graham Menzies, Esq., of the Caledonian Distillery, Edinburgh. See Hallyburton House.—Ord. Sur., sh. 48, 1868.
