Drummond Castle, Castle and formal garden in Muthill, Scotland
Drummond Castle stands on a ridge in Perthshire, featuring a 15th-century tower house, a 17th-century mansion, and terraced gardens spanning four hectares.
John Drummond, the first Lord Drummond and Justice-General to James IV, constructed the original tower house structure around 1490 as a defensive fortification.
The gardens display Scottish horticultural traditions through formal terraces, geometric patterns, and the Drummond family coat of arms integrated into the landscape design.
While the castle remains closed to visitors, the gardens open from Easter through October, with guided tours available explaining the garden's layout and plant species.
Queen Victoria planted copper beech trees during her 1842 visit, which continue to grow within the gardens of Drummond Castle to this day.
