Balmanno, an ancient castellated mansion in Dron parish, Perthshire, 3 miles WSW of Abernethy. It was the seat of the Murrays, baronets of Balmanno; is now partly occupied by a farmer; and is a fine specimen of the old Scottish baronial mansion. A rocking stone, 10 feet long and 7 broad, on a neighbouring brae, is easily set in motion by pressure of a finger.
