As it stood in 1608
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, three-storey harled stone tower-house with a slightly projecting entrance/stair wing on the front left, tall plain rectangular chimneys rising above a pitched slate roof, and small vertically aligned windows. The walls are smooth-plastered (harled) in pale grey, with simple stone surrounds to the openings. Set in open parkland with a gravel drive, scattered mature trees and informal lawns, rooflines and chimneys intact at the castle's prime.
Its story
The story of Tullibole Castle.
Tullibole Castle, at Crook of Devon in Perth and Kinross, began as a 16th-century tower house. John Halliday bought the land from the Herring family in 1589 and expanded the castle in 1608. Extended again in the 18th century, it passed by marriage to the Moncreiff family around 1740, who own it still. It was designated a Category A listed building in 1971.
The castle carries a dark memory: the Crook of Devon witch trials of 1662, in which members of the Moncreiff family sent eleven people to their deaths as suspected witches, are commemorated here.
