Fingask Castle

Fingask Castle is a Scottish country house in Perth and Kinross, perched above the village of Rait and overlooking the Carse of Gowrie and the Firth of Tay. The building dates to 1592 around a 12th-century core and received significant south- and west-facing additions and landscape works in the early 19th century. The estate is noted for its formal topiary gardens, statuary and the relocated Perth mercat cross.

The shape it held in its prime.

Perched about 200 feet above Rait, Fingask is a stone country house dated 1592 with early-19th-century additions to its south and west fronts; by 1840 the house sat complete within a laid-out park. The estate includes formal topiary gardens, a Pavilion, freestanding statuary around a lawn, the relocated Perth mercat cross, and a sheltered glen containing the Well of St. Peter with the Linn-ma-Gray stream.
