Step inside a largely intact medieval castle whose doughty defences once guarded the Firth of Forth. Known as "The Ship that Never Sailed" for its boat-like shape, Blackness Castle was built in the 1400s for Sir George Crichton, Admiral of Scotland. The castle walls contain clues to its many guises; besieged coastal stronghold, jail for political prisoners and Victorian ammunitions depot. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Daily, 9.30am to 5pm Last entry 4.15pm 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Daily, 10am to 4pm Last entry 3.15pm Booking in advance is recommended to guarantee entry.
