Scope and Content Fingask Castle, tower-house, Perth and Kinross Fingask Castle is a stepped L-plan tower-house dating to 1594, which was converted to a T-plan shape in 1674. It was further enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries. This aerial photograph shows the many changes and extensions that have been made to the tower-house. The oldest part of the tower-house is adjacent to the driveway. 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.
