Perched dramatically on the shores of the Firth of Forth, Blackness Castle is one of Scotland’s most striking fortresses. 🏰

Dating back to the 15th century, the castle has had many lives — from royal residence to military stronghold and even a state prison. Its unusual shape stretching out towards the water gave it the nickname “The Ship That Never Sailed.” ⛵️

You may also recognise Blackness Castle from Outlander, Outlaw King and Mary Queen of Scots.

If you’re visiting from Edinburgh, I’d definitely combine it with Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. From Linlithgow, you can catch the F49 bus to Blackness, which takes around 15 minutes. The service is limited, with only a few buses on weekdays, so make sure you check the timetable before setting off.
