HistoryGarth Castle was built in 1384 by Alexander Stewart,[4] although there was some controversy created by Major General David Stewart who suggested in his book Sketches of the Highlanders that James Stewart, of Fortingall & Garth, was the builder.[3] On 31 January 1499, Neil Gointe Stewart who was the laird of Fothergills Garth and Kilbrochan, died in Garth Castle and was buried in the graveyard of Dunkeld Cathedral.[1] ConstructionGarth castle is built on a small grass covered knoll, which is nearly isolated from the adjacent fields by two deep ravines, through which flow two minor, but fast flowing streams, that are tributaries of the Keltnie burn. These streams unite a few yards below, or to the south of the promontory on which the castle stands; and the conjoint stream thence flows for several hundred metres through a finely wooded and picturesque ravine, unit it rejoins the Keltnie, about a mile above where the Keltnie burn joins the River Lyon.[3] The tower is square in design, an architecture style termed donjon (keep), with walls constructed of a mix of unhewn boulders and quarried stones.[2] The walls range from {{convert|6+1/2|to|12|ft}} in thickness, rising to the parapet height at {{convert|60|feet}}.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last1=Stewart |first1=Charles Poyntz |title=Historic memorials of the Stewarts of Forthergill Perthshire, and their male descendants.
