Castle Menzies
A 16th-century castle with Z-plan towers, the ancestral home of the Menzies clan, where Bonnie Prince Charlie once stayed.
Castle Menzies is a classic example of 16th-century Scottish Z-plan defensive tower houses. Restored by the Menzies Clan Society, it displays family history, clan artefacts and the room where Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed in 1746, before the Battle of Culloden. It is small enough to see in about an hour. Admission is about £10, and it is closed in winter. The castle is in the village of Weem, about 2 km west of Aberfeldy.
Opening hours
Apr–Oct 10:30–17:00 (open Sunday afternoons)
