Edradynate Castle is a castle earthwork situated 120 metres east of Milton of Cluny in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument occupies ground underlain by Southern Highland Group bedrock, comprising psammite and pelite deposits formed during the Middle Cambrian period. This ancient metamorphic foundation would have provided relatively stable ground for medieval fortification.
The earthwork represents a typically modest Scottish castle of the medieval period, constructed to exert local control over the surrounding landscape and communication routes through Perthshire. The site's positioning near Milton of Cluny placed it within a settled agricultural locality, suggesting its builders held significant territorial authority in the district.
Edradynate Castle is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM9512. The earthwork survives as an archaeological record of medieval Scottish landholding patterns and the distribution of fortified sites across the Perthshire countryside, where such structures formed part of the wider network of regional power and administration.
