Overlooking the Perthshire hills, Ashintully is first and foremost a working
sheep farm. Set in over 3,000 acres of rolling countryside on the southern edge of the
Cairngorms National Park, the castle dates back to 1583 when it was built by
Colonel David Spalding with the plunder that resulted from his clan’s
support of the King of Spain in the Dutch Revolt.
The
castle and grounds are rich in history and legend and were the scenes of murder and
mayhem in the
16th and 17th centuries. It is also reputed that
Robert Roy MacGregor often stopped at Ashintully as a guest of the Spaldings and the 'Rob Roy’ room remains to
this day.
The castle is now a family home offering
exceptional holiday and sporting lets to those seeking somewhere just a little bit
different.
