Huntingtower Castle Parks & Walks

Huntingtower Castle stands near Perth and is unusual in being made up of two tower houses built close together. Mary Queen of Scots stayed here with Lord Darnley in 1565, and inside are a painted ceiling from around 1540, a hidden cupboard used for Ruthven family treasures, and the story of the Maiden's Leap.

Outdoor areas only Pet dogs aren't allowed inside the building. Assistance dogs admitted indoors by law.
