Finlarig Castle On Visit To Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Finlarig Castle on visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Finlarig Castle is an early 17th century castle standing on a mound on a peninsula between the River Lochay and Loch Tay, just over 1⁄2 mile North of Killin in Stirling, formerly in Perthshire. Built in 1629 by Black Duncan Campbell, Donnchadh Dubh, of Glenorchy, the castle is an L-plan tower-house, formerly protected by an outer enclosure or barmekin, which is now in a dangerously ruinous condition. It was one of many strongholds built in Argyll and Perthshire by the Campbells of Breadalbane. The castle was visited by Rob Roy MacGregor in 1713. Allowed to decay over many years, this brick built building has almost completely collapsed. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
