What is recorded here
Ruthvenfield, Castle Brae, Huntingtower Castle, Walled Garden is a walled garden in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The exact boundary remains unassigned, but the wall itself suggests a deliberate attempt to separate cultivated life from the surrounding land. That simple act of drawing a line around growth still matters.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ruthvenfield, Castle Brae, Huntingtower Castle, Walled Garden as Walled Garden (period Unassigned). 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.
Huntingtower Castle, part of the Ruthvenfield estate, was built in the late 13th or early 14th century by the Ruthven family, a powerful Scottish noble family. It is historically significant as the site of the imprisonment of King James I of Scotland in 1424 and for its association with the Ruthvens, who played a key role in Scottish politics.
