Murthly Castle
Murthly Castle near Dunkeld in Perthshire is a historic private house with origins in the medieval period, substantially rebuilt and extended over the centuries and currently operating as a luxury estate for private events, weddings and exclusive use accommodation. The estate occupies extensive woodland and parkland in the Tay valley near the ancient cathedral town of Dunkeld, in a landscape of exceptional natural and heritage significance. The Dunkeld area is one of the most scenically beautiful parts of Perthshire, with the River Tay passing through wooded gorges and the Hermitage woodland walk with its spectacular waterfall providing one of the most popular short walks in Scotland. The surrounding hills of Atholl and the vast wilderness of the eastern Cairngorms provide a dramatic Highland backdrop to the more pastoral character of the Tay valley.
