Local Fact of the Day: the Perth castle that held a king 👑

Huntingtower Castle, just outside Perth, was once called the Place of Ruthven. During the Ruthven Raid of 1582, the 1st Earl of Gowrie held the young King James VI there against his will—and kept him captive for ten months. The castle also hides an unusual secret: it began as two tower houses standing only about three metres apart. 🏰 Have you visited Huntingtower Castle?
