Methven Castle

Methven Castle is a 17th-century square, four-storey stone house in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, built in 1664 and incorporating earlier fabric. The building is characterised by narrow circular corner towers with ogee roofs, crow-stepped gables and a harled exterior; it remains a privately owned, category A listed building.

As it stood in 1664

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact square, four-storey stone block with a harled pale exterior and regular rectangular windows; each corner is anchored by a narrow, cylindrical tower capped with an ogee (onion-curved) roof. The north front features paired crow-stepped gables linked by a low balustrade above the roofline, with multiple stone chimney stacks rising from steep slate roofs. The building sits low on a short lawn with mature trees behind, the masonry showing ashlar-like texture and small slit windows in the towers.
