Murthly Castle (2)
Murthly Castle is an interesting building, of many periods.  The oldest parts are best seen from here - the back.  The original castle was a small free-standing tower, positioned at the south-west corner of the castle as it now stands, and seen here on the centre line of the photograph.  The date of this early keep, like that of Grantully, to which it has been allied throughout its history, is uncertain, but its upper storeys were altered, probably towards the end of the 16th century, when the angle turrets were added and the first extensions made.
