Craighall Castle
Craighall Castle near Blairgowrie in Perthshire is a historic house of considerable antiquity and picturesque character set on a dramatic clifftop position above the gorge of the River Ericht, incorporating medieval fabric within a structure substantially remodelled and extended over the centuries. The cliff-edge setting above the wooded gorge is one of the most dramatic of any castle site in Perthshire, with the river visible far below through the trees and the steep valley sides enclosing the castle on its rocky promontory. The castle has been associated with the Reid and Murray families and remains a private residence. The area around Blairgowrie in the Tay valley is one of the most scenically attractive parts of Perthshire, celebrated for soft fruit growing and as a gateway to the Cairngorms.
