Aldie Castle is a medieval tower house in Perth and Kinross. Its three storeys date to the early 16th century, though the Mercers held the place from around 1350 after acquiring it from the Murrays of Tullibardine. Later owners included the Nairn and Lansdowne families, and a 1950s restoration preserved its vaulted basement and added ranges.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aldie Castle as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
