Taymouth Castle, Gothic castle in Kenmore, Scotland

The four-story stone building stands on the south bank of River Tay, surrounded by mountain ranges and near the waters of Loch Tay.

Built in 1806 on the site of Balloch Castle from 1552, the structure underwent modifications by architect William Adam and received Queen Victoria in 1842.

The central staircase, designed by Francis Bernasconi, displays intricate plasterwork combined with medieval and Renaissance decorative elements throughout the interior spaces.

The estate includes 450 acres of land with an 18-hole golf course, salmon fishing areas along River Tay, and multiple walking paths through the grounds.

The castle features stone from a quarry in Achnaba, 90 miles away, specifically chosen to match the original green chlorite schist used in construction.
