Huntingtower is an unusual, well-preserved castle, consisting of three different phases of building: a 15th century keep, a nearby but not touching 16th century L-plan tower house, and a later small connecting range. Huntingtower Castle has an interesting history; it was visited by Mary Queen of Scots in 1513 and Lord George Murray, the Jacobite commander, was born there in 1694. This is an excellent place to visit, conveniently located just off the main road north as it by passes Perth.
