Fortar Castle
Forter Castle is a 16th-century L-plan fortalice in Glenisla, Perthshire, Scotland, built in 1560 by James Ogilvy. It was burned in the 17th century and reconstructed in the early 1990s; today it is a restored, inhabitable building within the Cairngorms National Park. The restored castle contains a vaulted basement, a great hall on the first floor, upper bedrooms and corbelled turrets at the roofline.

As it stood in 1560
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact L‑shaped stone fortalice of roughly rectangular main block with a substantial square tower projecting from the southeast corner. Walls are coursed grey rubble with small, vertically proportioned windows and several tall chimney stacks and stepped gables at the roofline. On the third floor small corbelled angle turrets project at the NE and NW. The building stands alone in a grassy glen beside a minor road, with a low stone forecourt wall and a large deciduous tree nearby.
