Blackness Castle

Highlights

• The location – situated on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth looking across to Fife.
• The castle’s formidable appearance – visitors know they are not visiting a noble residence but a stronghold built for war.
• The views from the towers and curtain wall – a broad sweep of the Firth of Forth, including fine views of the rail and road bridges.
