Blackness Castle
Discover the formidable Blackness Castle, a striking 15th-century stronghold perched on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Often dubbed the "ship that never sailed" for its long, stone fortress silhouette, this coastal castle offers a compelling journey through Scottish history. Wander through imposing battlements, vaulted dungeons, and ceremonial halls while learning about its roles as a defensive fortress, royal palace, prison, and ammunition depot. With interpretive panels and optional audio commentary, explore centuries of storied heritage in a dramatic maritime setting. The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed. It is not possible to skip the security lines.
