Castle Cluggy

Castle Cluggy stands on the north side of Loch Monzievaird in Perth and Kinross. It is a ruined castle from the 15th century, replacing an earlier structure. The Comyn family once held the lands in the 14th century. The Drummond family took control in the 15th century. Later, the Murray family acquired the lands in the 16th century. The castle fell into ruins by the middle of the 18th century. This followed the Murrays’ decision to build Ochtertyre House to the north. The site reflects the shifting power among powerful Scottish families. Its ruins offer a glimpse into the region’s medieval past. The castle’s history is tied to the Comyn, Drummond, and Murray families. Visitors find a quiet ruin beside the loch. The remains include parts of the walls and foundations. The setting is peaceful, with views across the water. The castle’s history is visible in its weathered stones. The nearby Ochtertyre House adds to the sense of the area’s past. The site is best reached by a short walk from the lochside.
