Grantully Castle

Tower House (16th Century)

What is recorded here

Grantully Castle stands in Perth and Kinross as a 16th-century tower house, its stones still bearing the shape of hands that built it to watch, defend, or simply belong. It may have hosted feasts, hidden lovers, or shaken under siege, though no name survives to claim those moments. The castle does not need a legend to be strange; it only needs a person brave enough to imagine the life it held before forgetting began.
