Balmanno Castle is a moated tower house located in Dron, Perth and Kinross. It was built between 1570 and 1580. It is now modernised and is in good condition. The moat is still partially filled with water. It was built for George Auchinleck, after he had acquired the estate.[1][2] The house is a Category A listed building[3] and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[4]
