Black Castle of Moulin, Medieval castle ruins in Moulin, Scotland

The Black Castle of Moulin stands as a collection of stone remnants, including sections of a corner tower and fragments of an enclosing wall.

Sir John Campbell of Lochawe constructed the defensive structure in 1326 on an island within a loch, establishing a strategic position in the region.

The castle bears witness to medieval Scottish defensive architecture and reflects the power structures of clan territories during the 14th century.

Located northeast of Pitlochry at coordinates 56.71, -3.7214, the ruins maintain protected status as a scheduled monument under British heritage regulations.

The castle met its end in 1512 when inhabitants deliberately set it ablaze to prevent the spread of plague through the community.
