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. The two surviving parts of the tower-house can be seen in this photograph. The main block is to the right and the accommodation block to the left. The walled courtyard would have originally extended out from the end wall of the tower-house. 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.
