Guthrie Castle

Guthrie Castle consists of a three-storey tower house built around 1468 and a mansion house of 1760 built nearby, connected by a Tudor Gothic wing built in 1818. The house was remodelled and extended further in 1848.

The property belonged to the Guthrie family from at least 1296 (and possibly earlier) until it was sold in 1981. Today the castle is an exclusive use venue hosting weddings.
