Scope and Content Fingask Castle, tower-house, Perth and Kinross Fingask Castle is a stepped L-plan tower-house dating to 1594. It was converted to a T-plan shape in 1674 with the construction of an additional block and was further enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries. This photograph shows a first-floor window in the east end wall. Over it, is a triangular pediment dated 1674, which bears the initials of Patrick Threipland and his wife Eupheme Conqueror. The lands of Fingask are on record by 1164, and by 1399 they belonged to a branch of the Bruces of Clackmannan. In 1672 Fingask passed to the Threipland family who built the tower-house.
