About Castle Cluggy

Castle Cluggy stands on the north shore of Loch Monzievaird a couple of miles north-west of Crieff in Perthshire. The early castle here is believed to have been home to John (the Red) Comyn, who sadly, is best remembered as having been murdered by Robert the Bruce in 1306. The castle passed to the Clan Drummond but a bitter and bloody feud broke out between the Drummonds and the Clan Murray. After much bloodshed and the intervention of the King, the Murrays prevailed. The castle was recorded as being in a ruinous state by the mid-1700s.
