Edinample Castle
GRAS_Edinample Castle

Edinample Castle is a Category A listed 16th-century towerhouse overlooking Loch Earn in Perthshire. When the Groves-Raines family acquired it in 1985, the building stood as a roofless shell, long neglected and partially collapsed. Over six years, the castle was carefully brought back to use, with traditional oak roof structures reinstated, masonry consolidated, and a large Victorian extension reworked to better suit the original form. Completed in 1991, the project returned the building to use as a family home and safeguarded its future.

Originally built by ‘Black’ Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy after acquiring the land in 1584, Edinample reflects the defensive and domestic characteristics of late Scottish Baronial architecture. Corbelled turrets, crow-stepped gables, and thick rubble walls mark its historic form. The work on the castle marked one of the studio’s earliest conservation projects, setting a precedent for the craft-led, context-sensitive approach that continues to shape its work today.
