Finlarig, a picturesque ruined castle in Killin parish, Perthshire, at the head of Loch Tay, 1½ mile N by E of Killin village. An ancient seat of the Earl of Breadalbane's ancestors, it figures in Sir Walter Scott's Fair Maid of Perth as the death-place of the chief of the clan Quhele, and is a narrow three-story ivy-clad pile, with a square tower at one corner. Adjoining it is the buryingvault of the Breadalbane family; and around is an undulating park with grand old trees. The scene of a sanguinary fight between the Campbells and the Macdonalds is in its neighbourhood.—Ord. Sur., sh. 46, 1872.
