Fingask Castle, Perthshire.


Perched above Rait, overlooking the Firth of Tay, in the Braes of the Carse of Gowrie, on the fringes of the Sidlaw Hills lies Fingask. Fingask was once an explicitly Holy place, a convenient and numinous stop off between the abbeys at Falkirk and Scone. In the eighteenth century it was a nest of Jacobites. Today, though still riddled with shrines, it is best known for its garden and parties.

Fingask is also home to the Fingask Follies, an annual musical event that takes place in late May and early June. The garden also features The Pavilion, a picturesque venue for things such as colloquia and wedding parties.
