Drummond

Drummond Castle, situated near Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland, boasts a rich history that begins in the late 15th century when it was built by John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond. The castle has played a significant role in Scottish history, witnessing numerous events, including the Jacobite uprisings. The original tower house was expanded in the 17th century by the 2nd Earl of Perth, adding a more modern mansion house. The castle's strategic location made it a focal point during the turbulent times of the Jacobite risings, with the Drummond family being staunch supporters of the Jacobite cause. The grounds of Drummond Castle are equally famous, featuring one of Scotland's most exquisite formal gardens, designed in the 19th century. These gardens, with their intricate parterres and terraces, are a prime example of the Italian Renaissance style and have been used as a filming location for various films and television series. Today, while the castle itself is not open to the public, the gardens attract visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Scotland's historic landscape.
