Myres Castle is a 16th-century Scottish tower house near Auchtermuchty in Fife, built around 1530 by John Scrymgeour on lands originally used by King James V as a wild boar hunting estate for Scotland's Royal Family. The castle exemplifies the Z-plan architectural style with a main block and two round towers projecting from opposite corners, set within a designed landscape of parkland, woods, and gardens spanning approximately 45 acres. The estate features a notably elaborate walled garden laid out in Vatican-style design with numerous rose varieties, supplemented by a kitchen garden and hedge maze. Today, Myres Castle operates as a prestigious private conference centre and luxury accommodation, offering ten beautifully appointed bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, combining historic authenticity with contemporary comfort for guests seeking an exclusive Scottish castle experience.
