(NO 0387 4008) Rohallion Castle (NR)
OS 6" map, Perthshire, 2nd ed. (1901)
The ruins of Rohallion Castle, an old fortalice, consist of a central block, oblong on plan with round towers at two diagonally opposite corners and a series of outer defences. There are shot-holes in the towers.
The last time the castle was occupied (W Marshall 1881) was during the period following the Reformation in Scotland; it was also a hiding-place of William, 4th Lord Ruthven, after the Raid of Ruthven in 1582. The building is almost certainly 16th century work.
