Situated on the outskirts of Perth, Huntingtower was formerly known as the House of Ruthven. Incurring the wrath of James VI, control was later passed to the Murrays of Tullibardine. It was here that Lord George Murray was born, who gained fame as the commander of the Jacobite army during the '45 Uprising.
