Summary edit
| Description |
English: Huntingtower Castle Originally known as Ruthven Castle, home of the Ruthven family, later Earls of Gowrie, the castle consists of two towers, the east dating from the early 15th and west from the late 16th century. They were joined by a gangway. In 1582 the 16 year old King James VI was held captive here in an episode known as the Raid of Ruthven. The object was to remove him from the influence of the Earl of Arran. In 1600 the king had his revenge in the Gowrie Conspiracy when the then Earl and his brother were killed, their estate forfeited the name Ruthven proscribed and the castle's name changed to Huntingtower. |
