The Black Castle of Moulin is a ruined 14th-century castle that once served as a stronghold for the Stewart lords of Atholl. Perched on a hill above the village of Moulin, just outside Pitlochry, the site offers panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the remaining stone walls and foundations, imagining the castle's storied past, including its role in clan conflicts. The atmospheric ruins are a short walk from the village, providing a peaceful glimpse into medieval Scottish history.
