Murthly Castle (1)
Two of the previous three castles I visited have connections with this one.  Rohallion, just 2 miles from here, is on Murthly land, and the Stewarts of Grantully / Grandtully moved down here when they inherited it.  Three and a half miles downstream from Dunkeld in Perthshire, it sits in a beautiful situation on the south side of the Tay, and more or less on the 'Highland Line'.  This view, of the west side of the castle, shows the wooded slopes of Caputh Hill in the cloud shadow across the glen; the coils of the Tay away to the right, and Strathmore extending away into Angus in the distance.  Good country!
