Stobhall Castle, Chapel and Tower House

What is recorded here

Stobhall Castle, Chapel and Tower House stands in Perth and Kinross as a 16th Century chapel and tower house, marked by a sundial of unknown age. The chapel likely echoed with prayers while the tower watched the land, two functions built side by side instead of hidden inside one grand palace. A sundial still belongs to the place, measuring daylight without saying when it arrived. The castle may have served a local family, hosted travellers or simply marked territory, but its parts still point to a life where worship, defence and time kept separate jobs.
