Innerpeffray Castle is a fifteenth-century fortress located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated on the banks of the River Earn. The castle represents a significant example of late medieval Scottish military architecture and served as an important stronghold for the local landed gentry during a period of considerable political and dynastic change in central Scotland. The structure demonstrates the characteristic defensive features of its era, including robust stone construction designed to withstand both siege and raid. The castle's strategic location on the river made it a valuable asset for controlling movement through the Earn valley and maintaining local authority throughout the tumultuous medieval period.
