Tullibardine Castle was a castle located in the village of Tullibardine, 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
History[]
The lands of Tullibardine passed to the Murray family after Ada de Strathearn, the wife of William Murray was granted the other moiety of Tullibardine from her aunty. The castle was built in the late 13th to early 14th century, with likely its first custodian being David Murray, 6th Baron of Tullibardine.[1]
The outline of the ship, the Great Michael, commissioned by James IV, was commemorated by a plantation of hawthorn hedges at Tullibardine. This could be seen in the 1570s, according to a chronicle writer, Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie. The probable site of this garden feature can be seen in aerial photographs about 100 metres north of the castle site.[2]
Mary, Queen of Scots visited William Murray of Tullibardine at the castle on 16 November 1562,[3] and on 31 December 1566.[4]
James VI often visited John Murray, 1st Earl of Tullibardine. He and Anne of Denmark attended the wedding of Lilias Murray and John Grant of Freuchie on 21 June 1591 at Tullibardine.[5] James VI performed in a masque with his valet, probably John Wemyss of Logie.[6] They wore Venetian carnival masks and helmets with red and pink taffeta costumes.[7] James VI was at Tullibardine for New Year in 1592,[8] and stayed on 7 January 1594.[9]
The castle was demolished in 1883.
