Gascon Hall, an ancient castle, now a ruin, in the SE corner of Trinity Gask parish, Perthshire, on the N bank of the Earn, 1¼ mile WNW of Dunning station. Tradition makes it the place where Sir William Wallace, according to Blind Harry's narrative, encountered the ghost of Faudon; but it must have been built long after Wallace's day. The real Gascon Hall appears to have stood about 1½ mile NE of this castle, on a spot amid the present woods of Gask.
