Worth the small detour from the main route to visit this castle. Great views across the Forth and to the bridges.

Well worth a visit.

As well as going in and seeing the house, there is plenty to do within the grounds. Cafe, woodland walks, and a section of the Antonine wall. Free but limited parking, and children’s play area. There’s also a lot of wildlife, and longer walks to the kelpies or Falkirk wheel are possible.

Very nice castle by the sea front

Great shore line cycle way

Large ruined 16th century castle, easily accessible and seems as of 2021 that it may be about to be undergoing some sort of restoration.

Lovely seaside village with food and restrooms....

Wild camped here on the grounds after hours......never seen in castle as closed but looked amazing.

There's some speed bumps on the road approaching the castle to look out for.

Best visited during sunset for gorgeous views of the bay with the castle in the background.
