The castle doesn't score highly for its "beautiful surroundings" - Perth is a real rival to this attraction!
But the friendly, quiet atmosphere, the opportunity to explore a real old castle with a tragic history all by yourself, without guides, without queuing for photos, without huge tourist crowds: that's something!
Inside, you can explore the rooms floor by floor, all the way up to the roof, where you have a magnificent view!
Old drawings and a wonderful ceiling have been preserved; otherwise, bats would have taken over.
Because of the narrow spiral staircase and the relatively unsecured roof parapet, I would rather not take small children, and it will also be difficult for those with walking disabilities.
For those interested in history, it's definitely worth reading up on the history of the Ruthvel clan, whose ancestral seat the castle is!
