Surrounded by Glenisla's stunning scenery, Forter Castle was originally built in 1560 and enjoys a
history as rich as the countryside in which it sits. Destroyed by the Duke of Argyll in 1640, it has been
completely restored using traditional materials.
Designer Katharine Pooley has transformed the interior into one of luxury and comfort. Forter boasts all
modern amenities and occupies five floors, each reached by a stone spiral staircase, which sleeps 12
people comfortably.
Surrounded by stunning scenery in beautiful Glenisla, Forter Castle was originally a fortified tower,
built in 1540 and owned by the Ogilvys, and destroyed by the Duke of Argyll's men in 1650. Completely
restored to its present glory in 1990, it was rebuilt using traditional materials and methods.

Forter Castle Activities
The Perthshire/Angus areas boast many various activities for
active people. Most popular activities include horseback riding to
facilitate viewing much of the magnificent wildlife. Alternatively,
this can also be accomplished by mountain-bike, or on foot.
The mountains offer both skiing and snowboarding during winter
months, while summer months offer alternative mountain-biking
and hiking. For those with a passion for water, rivers, lochs, and
beaches offer numerous aquatic activities.
For the purest of thrill-seekers, activities from paragliding to
bungy jumping can also be found within the area. Of course,
Scotland being the home of golf, we have reserved its very own
section.
