Braco Castle, a medieval tower house in Perth and Kinross, was likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the Drummond family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its strategic location near the River Tay and its association with the powerful Drummonds, who played a significant role in the political and military history of Perthshire.
