About Wester Clow

The ruins of Wester Clow sit quietly on the Perthshire landscape, a fragment of Scotland's past that most visitors to Perth will walk straight past without noticing. What remains is essentially a 17th-century tower house in various states of decay - stone walls that have weathered centuries, enough structure left to fire your imagination about the folk who lived here when this was proper countryside rather than commuter belt. You can access it freely and it takes about twenty minutes to poke around, though there's not much interpretation on site so you'll need to bring some historical curiosity with you. History buffs and photographers hunting for something off the tourist trail will find it worthwhile. Families with young kids might find it a bit underwhelming - there's no visitors' centre, no facilities, just old stones and views back towards Perth. The real appeal is combining it with a few other sites in the area rather than making a special trip. It slots well into a Perthshire caravan holiday, especially if you're based at one of the nearby farms like Maycroft Retreat or Greenhill Farm Glamping - both within striking distance for a ramble. Best visited in dry weather when the approach isn't boggy, and dawn or dusk light makes the old walls look their absolute best. Allow yourself an hour if you're mixing it with a walk around the surrounding countryside.
