Taymouth Castle

Taymouth Castle is situated just north-east of the village of Kenmore, Perth and Kinross in the Highlands of Scotland. It stands on the site of the much older Balloch Castle (built 1550), which was unfortunately demolished to be rebuilt on a much larger scale in the early 19th Century by the Campbells of Breadalbane. It was visited by Queen Victoria in 1842.

Built in neo-Gothic style, no expense was spared on the Castle's interior, which was decorated with extravagant sumptuousness in carving, plasterwork, murals etc, on a scale equal to or surpassing any contemporary building in the British Isles. Panels of medieval stained glass and Renaissance woodwork were incorporated into the scheme. Much of this decor survives, though the Castle has lost most of its original rich furnishings. Plans are ongoing to restore the building and convert it into a luxury hotel.
