Methven Castle, Category A listed building in Perth and Kinross, Scotland
The castle presents a square, four-storey main block with circular towers at each corner, featuring traditional ogee-shaped roofs and harled exterior walls.
Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII of England, resided at Methven Castle after her marriage to Henry Stewart in 1528 until her death in 1541.
The Smythe family's stewardship throughout the 18th and 19th centuries included substantial additions to the castle structure and surrounding parklands.
The current building, dating from 1664 and designed by architect John Mylne, underwent extensive restoration work starting in 1984.
David Smythe enhanced the castle grounds by establishing woodlands and constructing a walled garden in 1796, shaping the landscape seen today.
