Black Castle Ruins — Attraction in Scotland

This was my second and final port of call in Pitlochry. On my walk to the first of them, I saw that the road leading to the Ruins from Atholl Road was very steep. Thankfully and most unexpectedly I was given a lift up that road (East Moulin Road) all the way from within Black Spout Wood. I asked the unknown (until that time) driver to park where it was safe. By chance we could see the Ruins in a field to our right once he had parked. I did get a few photos but decided, after a tiring day, that I would get a taxi to take me the shortish distance into town. From the road a Google Maps search will help. Pinpointing the turn may not be easy but it is further up than the working farm, where there is a sign that reads "no access to the Ruins". I was told that, at the turn towards the Ruins, there is a green sign of some sort but I never got that close to see it. From around there you can get a good photo of Ben y Vrackie. Depending on weather conditions it can be...

There's a lot of sheep poop in the pasture, so don't wear nice shoes! If you approach the southern side of the ruins, there's another small gate which you can easily open to get a closer look at the ruins. The sheep are a little creepy (especially the rams), but they didn't give us any problems. Other...

It was quite a small castle and very little remains, most of which is overgrown. However, it is a nice walk through a sheep pasture with plenty of trails connected to it, so it is a nice feature on a long walk around Pitlochry.

There are two ways to get there. The first is to go by the Moulin hall where you will see a sign attached to a lamp post (very easy to miss because it faces the wrong way), and next to the field there are two informational boards. On the southeast side you can access via a gate that connects to the paths that go to the black spout...
