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. The tower stands three storeys and a garret in height built from rubble and dressed sandstone blocks. Viewed here from the south, it is an impressive building with crowstepped gables. Several wide-mouthed gun-loops can be seen at ground-floor level. 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. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
