Balvaird Castle is a fine example of a late-medieval Scottish tower house, built about 1495 by Sir Andrew Murray after his marriage to Margaret Barclay. The name comes from the Gaelic Baile a’ Bhàird (“Town of the Bard”), and the site incorporates earth-work defenses from earlier fortifications. Over time, gatehouses, courtyards, gardens and orchards were added (notably in 1567) and the Murray family held the property until moving to Scone Palace in 1658. In modern times it’s a scheduled monumen

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Perth and Kinross, Balvaird Castle has long been a peaceful, quiet retreat—one of my favourite spots to visit. But soon, that might change! This stunning 15th-century tower house is set to appear in the new Outlander prequel, Blood of My Blood, bringing it into the spotlight and onto our screens.

This pretty wee tower is Balvaird Castle, not far from Perth but even closer to Glenfarg. It's a typical L-shaped tower, in fantastic condition considering it's been abandoned for a long while and if Historic Scotland was somebody to fix it up and live there, then give me a call! Not many folk visit Balvaird, the interior of the castle is closed at the moment anyway, but lots will visit nearby Scone Palace - home to the Earls of Mansfield. This is where those Earls started, back when they were j

Inside a fairytale caste - Belvoir Castle tour. I’ve shared a few clips of the wonderful Belvoir Castle recently, but this one is a compilation of several of its interior spaces. This short tour will hopefully give you a taste of what to expect when you visit this opulent country house. Pronounced “Beaver,” meaning “beautiful view” in French, this castle appears to have been plucked straight from a fairytale.
