Whitefield Castle
Ruins of Whitefield Castle
Whitefield Castle is a ruined L-plan tower-house on the hill above the village of Kirkmichael in Strath Ardle, Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
History
Built in the 12th century by Malcolm Canmore as a hunting lodge, it was expanded in 1577 by the Spalding family. It is now ruinous.
The castle also has a Ley tunnel legend, a tradition often found associated with ancient residences. This tunnel was said to link up with nearby Ashintully Castle.
