Meggernie Castle

Meggernie Castle is a five-storey Scottish tower house and attached mansion located halfway up Glen Lyon beside the river Lyon in Perth and Kinross. The medieval keep has four small square corner towers and very thick stone walls; a long low mansion wing extends from one side. The site sits in a Highland glen landscape with a nearby churchyard.

As it stood in 1850

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall rectangular five-storey stone keep of grey-brown rubble with walls about five feet thick, its four small square corner towers bracketed out from the main mass. Narrow vertical slit windows puncture the façades. A long, low mansion house of similar stone extends from one side, with a lower pitched roofline. The castle sits on the slopes of Glen Lyon beside the river Lyon, the keep rising above surrounding pasture and distant hills.
