Plean Castle, Category B listed tower house in St Ninians, Scotland
The structure combines a small oblong tower from the 15th century with an adjoining manor house built in the 16th century.
The barony of Plean received its grant from Robert Bruce in 1314, and Lord Somerville constructed the castle after acquiring the lands in 1449.
The castle represents Scottish defensive architecture with its three stories, garret, and distinctive parapet corbelling characteristic of medieval Scottish construction.
The castle underwent reconstruction from 1991 to 1997, converting the historical structure into residential spaces and holiday accommodations.
A wooden walkway connects the tower to the manor house, which stands above a vaulted basement dating from the original 1528 structure.
