Rohallion Castle (3)
The north-east corner tower again, with a narrow window just visible.

As regards its name, Dr. William Marshall, in <i>Historic Scenes in Perthshire,</i> states that Rohallion was called in Gaelic &quot;Forhaillon&quot;.  That the Picts were here is demonstrated by a group of rocks carved with cup-marks, about 100 yards away to the west-south-west.

Birnam Hill was originally royal forest, before being granted in 1160 by Malcolm IV to Duncan, Earl of Fife, upon his marriage to the king’s niece Ada. It was later incorporated into the barony of Dunkeld by George Brown, Bishop of Dunkeld, in the late 15th century.  Following the Reformation, it was owned by the Lords Ruthen.
