    Blackness Castle is perched right on the shore of the Firth of Forth.

    Just like many other historical buildings in this part of Scotland, it has featured in the popular TV series Outlander.

    Visit the castle to find out more about the history of the powerful Crichton family, this stronghold built for war and kept as a noble residence for the family.
