Fonab Castle, a magical Scots Baronial castle located in Perthshire, Scotland, is an exquisite blend of traditional charm and rich history, with contemporary twists that enhance its luxurious appeal. Built in 1892 for Lieutenant Colonel George Glas Sandeman, a member of the renowned Sandeman port and sherry family. Originally a grand private residence, the castle later served various purposes, including a Red Cross hospital during World War I.
