Castle Menzies is located just west of the village of Weem, Perthtshire, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Baile a' Chlachain, Siorrachd Pheairt, Alba). It is not far from the market town of  Aberfeldy (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Pheallaidh) in Highland Perthshire. Castle Menzies is a sixteenth century Scottish castle and the ancestral seat of the Clan Menzies. It was restored during the twentieth century by the Menzies Clan Society.  Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed for two nights in the castle on his way to the battle of Culloden in 1746. Architecturally the original Z-plan castle is an example of the transition over the years of Scottish castles from earlier rugged Highland fortresses to later mansion houses.
