How to get your FREE tickets to Blackness Castle
The annual Historic Scotland Ticket Giveaway weekend takes place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November. Find out how you can get yours here!
Blackness Castle
Blackness Castle was built as a residence for the powerful Crichton family, but this auspicious start soon gave way to a chequered history.
Seized by James II, it remained in Crown ownership, initially as a garrison fortress and state prison.
It has undergone many alterations, but it could not withstand the onslaught of Cromwell’s artillery in 1651. Redeveloped in 17th century, it remained an important military base until the 1870s when it became a munitions depot.
Today, the Castle is well known for its involvement in the hit TV series Outlander and is open 7 days a week.
Blackness Castle
Please note, the car park has limited spaces and will be monitored. It is only available for those that have booked tickets to visit the castle and its grounds. Step into a largely intact medieval castle whose defences once guarded the Firth of Forth. An impressive venue used as infamous Fort William in Outlander.
