Balhousie Castle
Balhousie Castle is a 17th-century Scottish Baronial house in Perth, Scotland, rebuilt and enlarged in 1862–1864. Originally the seat of the Earls of Kinnoull, the building stands on a raised terrace overlooking the North Inch and now houses the Regimental Headquarters and Museum of The Black Watch. Only parts of the original east rubble wall survive following 19th-century remodelling.

As it stood in 1864
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact multi-storey castle of warm red sandstone with two prominent cylindrical corner turrets capped by conical slate roofs and metal finials, steep crow-stepped gables breaking the roofline, and a central gabled dormer with a flagpole flying the Saltire. Facade punctured by regular sash windows and simple ashlar dressings; building set on a raised terrace in an urban Perth setting, appearing complete and enlarged after the mid-19th‑century remodelling.
