Finlarig Castle is a Medieval castle and earthwork site in Perthshire, Scotland, historically significant as a stronghold associated with the Campbell family and the wider history of the Highland region. The castle comprises substantial stone ruins of a fortified structure dating primarily to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, though the site may have earlier medieval origins. The monument includes extensive earthworks that once formed part of the castle's defensive and residential complex, alongside a mausoleum erected in later periods, reflecting the site's continued importance to its proprietors beyond its primary military function.
