History of Balvaird
Balvaird Castle is a traditional late medieval Scottish tower house. It is located in the Ochil Hills around three miles south of Abernethy.
It was likely built in the late 1400s, with significant additions made in the 1500s.
It was home to the Murrays of Balvaird, who extended and remodelled the property over the next 150 years or so. They eventually left Balvaird for Scone in 1658.
The castle wound up as accommodation for farm labourers.
