About Edinample Castle
Edinample Castle is a late 16th century castle on the southern shores of Loch Earn near Lochearnhead. The castle takes the form of a Z-plan tower house, originally built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell. The castle was extended in both the 18th and early 20th centuries, but fell into a state of dereliction by the early 1970s. It has now been refurbished for use as a private family home.
