Balhousie Castle
Balhousie Castle is located in Hay Street, Perth. The castle standing today is a Baronial style mansion built in 1862. The entrance is located in the tower. Viewed from the east side, you can make out some the original castle stonework. The Castle is the regimental headquarters and museum of the Black Watch.
The castle was built in 1631 and was the seat of the Earls of Kinnoull. The castle had a walled enclosure with subsidiary buildings and gardens overlooking the North Inch park. The castle fell into disrepair in the early 19th century, and was extensively renovated in 1862-63 and converted to Baronial style by David Smart. No original features survive except for parts of the original walls on the east side. In 1962, the Castle became the regimental headquarters and museum of the Black Watch.
