Tour Scotland photograph of Methven Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle largely dates from 1680, and was one of the last large houses built in the style of a castle in Scotland. It is on the site of much older castle. Methven Castle was the home of Margaret Tudor, born 1489, died 1541, queen of James IV, King of Scots, and daughter of Henry VII of England, after her third marriage to Henry Stewart, 1st Lord Methven in 1528. Margaret Tudor died here on 18 October 1541. After the third Lord Methven died without heir in 1584, King James VI gave Methven to his favourite, the Duke of Lennox. In 1664 the estate was purchased by Patrick Smythe of Braco.
