Scope and Content Glasclune Castle, Perth and Kinross Built about 1600, the remains of Glasclune Castle are located 140m to the east of Mains of Glasclune farm. Originally a Z-plan tower-house, the remains are in two parts: a main block, and an accommodation wing to the north. This corbelled base is on the main part of the tower-house and would have provided the base for a bartizan, a small turret projecting from the corner of the building. Tower-houses were built in Scotland between the 14th and 17th centuries and were one of the simplest forms of fortified residence. A Z-plan tower-house had towers placed at diagonally opposite corners of the main building. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
