Tour Scotland Video Early Autumn Drive To Elcho Castle Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of an early Autumn mostly cloudy drive through Bridge of Earn on ancestry visit to Elcho Castle just South of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle, located on the South Bank of the River Tay, consists of a Z-plan tower house, with fragments of a surrounding wall with corner towers. The Castle was built on the site of an older structure about 1560, and is one of the best surviving examples of its date in Scotland. A large portion of the Castle is accessible, although floors in some rooms have fallen, and much of the building can be walked through. Elcho Castle was built in the latter half of the 16th century for the Wemyss family.
