The Elcho Castle is another expample of the divide between the Scottish nobility during the Middle Ages and of the Renaissance. The construction is characteristic of Scotland (as there are many similar places) and is made up of a small castle, that belongs to a noble family with some power, as in the case of Wemyss (whose leader was the Count of Elcho, hence the name of the castle).
The castle is located near the city of Perth, by theTay River in the village of Rhynd. It is in perfect condition and completely open to visitors (from April to September). It mainly serves as a museum of the seventeenth century, during the time when it was completed.
This castle did not participate in wars, sieges and went for over 200 years without use. It functioned as more of a residential mansion castle, but can be rented for weddings, celebrations as long as you can cover the cost.
