Trochrie Castle is a tower house situated in Perthshire, Scotland, dating from the medieval period. The structure represents a characteristic form of Scottish fortified residence, though detailed records of its construction date and original builders remain limited in the published scholarly record. The castle stands as evidence of the defensive architectural traditions of rural Perthshire during the later medieval and early modern periods. Like many Scottish tower houses of its type, it would have served both residential and defensive functions for its proprietors.
