Castle Menzies, Category A listed castle in Weem, Scotland.
Castle Menzies features a Z-plan layout with thick stone walls, large gothic windows, and battlements overlooking the Highland landscape of Perthshire.
The castle served as the headquarters of Clan Menzies for over 500 years and provided shelter to both Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Duke of Cumberland in 1746.
The marriage stone above the original entrance marks the union of James Menzies and Barbara Stewart, daughter of the Earl of Atholl, in 1371.
The castle opens Monday through Saturday from 10:30 to 17:00, and Sundays from 14:00 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30 throughout the week.
Maharaja Duleep Singh, the last ruler of the Sikh Empire, resided at Castle Menzies between 1855 and 1858 during his exile from Punjab.
