Guthrie Castle

Guthrie Castle

Guthrie Castle is a castle and country house, located in the village of Guthrie, 18 miles north-east of Dundee in Angus, Scotland. The castle dates back to the 15th century, although much of the present building is of 19th century origin. It is now a private house, but is hired out as a venue for corporate events and weddings.

History

Guthrie Castle comprises a tower house, originally built by Sir David Guthrie (1435-1500), Treasurer and Lord Justice-General of Scotland, in 1468. The Guthrie family later built a house beside the tower. In 1848, the two were linked by a baronial style expansion, to designs by David Bryce.

Restoration

In 1984 Guthrie Castle was purchased by Daniel S. Peña Sr., an American businessman. Mr. Pena restored the castle to its 19th century condition, and built a golf course within the estate in 1994/95. Visiting the castle is restricted to guests with reservations for private use.
