'A breath taking place full of fresh air'

Penchrise Peel stands alone far from the madding crowd in an elevated position over the Slitrig Water Valley – a setting of calming nature and tranquillity. Peel Towers were built throughout the lowlands of Scotland as fortified keeps or tower houses primarily between the mid-14th century to the 17th century. Defence was their primary objective and this is reflected in their design as defensive localised castles or strongholds.
