Fingask Castle, Perthshire, Scotland.:fionn-gasg: a white or light coloured appendage.

Perched above Rait, posed 200 feet up overlooking the Firth of Tay, in the Braes of the Carse of Gowrie, on the fringes of the Sidlaw Hills lies Fingask.
Fingask was once an explicitly Holy place, a convenient and numinous stop off between the abbeys at Falkirk and Scone. In the eighteenth century it was a nest of Jacobites. Today, though still riddled with shrines, it is best known for its garden and parties.
Fingask is also home to the Fingask Follies, an annual musical event that takes place in late May and early June.
The garden is renowned for its Topiary but also features The Pavilion, a picturesque venue for things such as colloquia and wedding parties. Elsewhere in the demesne there's a magic peep show of statutes by David Anderson, Sculptor of Perth, of the likes of Burns' or Alexander Thomson's (1763-1803) Meg and Watty, Burns' Willie Brew’d a Peck o’ Maut, And Rab and Allan cam’ tae Pree, Scott's Last Minstrel/Ossian, and Burns' Tam O' Shanter and Kate. By other hands are also to be found the naked black figure of Doryphoros; a full length William Pitt the Younger, and some small pieces by Charles Spence.
Note also off the drive in a sheltered glen, a dell, the Well of St. Peter with the Linn-ma-Gray flowing beside it. On a stone above the well are the approriate lines::And bless St. Peter's well,:Or frost or thawing swell'
