Huntingtower Castle

Our favorite castle of the trip! So much of the original structure and interior painting remains! Truly like stepping back 500 years. We also liked the kind and helpful woman working at the ticket desk. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience visiting this castle! To be honest, it is not like a castle cause it's not as large as I imagine, I wanna say it can also called 'Huntingtower House'. The fact is that it was a castle hundreds of years ago, but for now, only two towers left. The castle itself is relatively well preserved, and I can climb up layer by layer until the top of the open air. The history of the castle is also very interesting. The original owner imprisoned James VI for treason and was beheaded. Then the castle went to the second owner and was even sold as a dormitory for workers. In short, it is a castle worth visiting in Scotland, not far from the city center of Perth.

A great example of a tower, with a bonus, there’s two of them. Entry is by a small road with a car park that tries to maximise the number of cars by having diagonal parking bays. The idea is to drive right up into the castle ground and turn around before parking. Means just reverse to get out. If you do reverse park instead you need free space to do a 5 point turn or more to get out. Alison in the ticket office is great, enthusiastic and informative as well as helpful. A little shop there (of course) and a toilet block. The whole castle is open, top to bottom. The best is great hall with painting ceiling and walls in parts. Quite a climb up both towers on circular staircases with handrails. There are panels to explain the most important features and events. There is a doocot (dovecote ) at top of one tower. Unusual to have one actually in the castle.

Excellent castle in the care of HS, lots of rooms and good history board availability. Great service experience, thank you to Alison for her information and going-out-of her way to find out the access to some nearby HS sites. Thank you for the wonderful visit.

This is a real gem. Off the beaten path, but lots to see and one of the few sites that allow you to access the roof. Lots of fascinating history about the place, and the preserved ceiling art is just impressive.

This is an amazing little castle. I love that you can go everywhere and imagine how life must have been 500 years ago. Terrific wooden ceilings. Steep and narrow staircases. Fantastic. The host, Allison was great. She gave us a few historical facts. We bought the Historic Explorer Pass for £44 each, which gives you free access to multiple Castles incl this one. Simply a better deal.

Not the biggest of castles but this did not disappoint me in any way.What a magnificent place to visit.

We got here early (around 10.30)so we had the place to ourselves, which was brilliant. The castle itself is a typical small Scottish castle but with some unique features. There are stairs to all levels of the castle, including the roof.The lady in the shop was most friendly and informative.We spent about an hour here

Amazing! The customer service representative, Alison, was very knowledgeable and shared a few spots to visit as well while we are in Dundee, UK

Huntingtontower Castle is another place with a great story and some interesting architectural aspects. We visited on a Thursday at about ten after noon, and it wasn't busy at all. We were the only visitors for most of our time there. You can buy a guidebook at the entrance for about £7, or £8 if you adding a donation. We donated.. it's a great little castle and they maintain it well. Maybe it was the smaller size or the solitude, but it's a place that really gets you thinking about how people must have lived and what went on there.
