Tullibole Castle Entrance

Tullibole Castle is hidden by woodland on a gentle rise south of the Ochil Hills, on what was once a medieval royal way (Courtgate or Court Way) between the hunting forests of the Palace of Falkland and Stirling Castle. The present castle was built in 1608 and passed to the Moncrieffs about a hundred years later and has been the family's home ever since.

Rhoderick and Alison Moncreiff welcome guests to stay for bed and breakfast at the castle, and offer optional (recommended) dinner as well. They have two large bedrooms for guests, one double/twin and one with twin beds, and there is one private bathroom which is shared by both rooms. But the bathroom is only shared between families and friends travelling together – at other times it remains private to just one room.

A considerable number of peacocks inhabit the surrounding gardens and tend to perch on an old tree overlooking the lawns. You can stroll across the small bridge over a 150 yard length of formal fishponds and visit the ruined 18th century Doocot and the ancient cemetery which has a rare 9th century Gaelic-Norse Hogback stone and remnants of a medieval church.

Being at a mid-point between Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, St Andrews and Glasgow, this is an ideal place from which to visit all of central Scotland from east to west. In fact, you may find you want to stay for a few days at Tullibole Castle - time to appreciate its history, quiet and peace - away from the modern rush.

"The Lord is onlie my defence. 2 April 1608. Peace be within thy walles and prosperitie within thy hous."

Originally there was a minstrels' gallery at the far end, hence the unusual form of the windows. On the walls are family portraits.

Rhoderick and Alison are researching Moncreiff family, and Tullibole Castle, history (Rhoderick is the lieutenant to the Chief of the Moncreiff Clan).
