Meggernie Castle, 16th-century castle in Glen Lyon, Scotland
The five-story fortified structure features thick walls, narrow slit windows, and four square towers bracketed from the main building at each corner.
John Campbell of Glenlyon constructed Meggernie Castle around 1585, with official land grant documentation from King James VI dated March 4, 1603.
The castle name derives from Welsh language elements meaning 'boggy meadow', indicating the historical Pictish influence in the region.
Meggernie Castle stands halfway up Glen Lyon, near the River Lyon's path toward its junction with River Tay, below Loch Tay.
The property changed ownership in 1689 when Robert Campbell sold it to the Murrays of Athol to resolve debts from the Glen Coe incident.
