Balvaird Castle on the border between Perth and Kinross and Fife was built in 1500 by Sir Andrew Murray, a member of the Murray family of Tullibardine. He had acquired the land as part of the dowry that came with his wife, Margaret Barclay. It was probably placed on the site of an earlier Barclay family castle. The castle was built, altered, developed and improved over many years. A gatehouse range was built in 1567, and the castle also incorporated various walled gardens and an orchard. The family continued to reside at Balvaird until they inherited the titles of Lord Scone and Viscount Stormont in 1658 and moved to the rather grander estate at Scone that came with the titles. Unfortunately I couldn't get all round views of the castle during my visit due to an Easter egg hunt that was being held but I will return in the future to capture this castle in all its beauty Intro Music from www.freesound.org/people/Tomdoff/sounds/218794/ Music royalty free from www.bensound.com
