Huntingtower Castle, Medieval tower house in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
The castle structure consists of two separate tower houses connected by a gatehouse, featuring distinct architectural elements from different construction periods.
The Ruthven family owned the castle until 1600 when King James VI seized it following their involvement in political conspiracies against him.
The painted ceiling within the castle contains detailed biblical scenes and decorative patterns that represent Scottish noble residences of the 16th century.
The castle opens daily from April through September, with reduced winter hours and special rates for families and Historic Scotland members.
The castle walls hold painted decorations from the 1540s, making them among the earliest surviving examples of secular wall paintings in Scotland.
