Tullibole Castle
Tullibole Castle near Drum in Perthshire is a seventeenth-century tower house of considerable architectural quality, privately owned and occasionally open to visitors as part of Scotland's Doors Open Days programme. The castle was built around 1608 and incorporates a variety of architectural features typical of the early seventeenth-century transition from purely defensive tower house to more comfortable country house. The building is associated with the Halliday family and later the Moncrieffe family, and its interior retains much of its historic character. The surrounding landscape of the Earn valley and the Perthshire hills south of Perth provides an attractive rural setting, and the castle is within easy reach of the various heritage sites of the Perth area including Huntingtower Castle and Elcho Castle.
