Kinnoull Hill Tower is a structure situated on the edge of a high hill overlooking the River Tay. Built in the early 19th century, it consists of a round tower set between walls.

The tower is set in wooded landscaped grounds, with trails through mature beech and pine forests. There is also an arboretum and excellent views across the Tay Valley.

The dramatic cliffs at the southern end of Kinnoull Hill reminded the 9th Earl of Kinnoull of the lofty rock formations along the Rhine Valley in Germany and of fairytale castles that do not have rocky outcrops. He felt that Perth needed its own version of these Rhine castles, so he built towers on the summit of Binn Hill and on Kinnoull Hill. In addition to the tower, the Earl built a large stone table for use as a picnic area.

Some sources attribute the Tower to Lord Grey of Kirfauns or the 11th Earl of Kinnoull.
