Blackness Castle Pictures
Built in the 1440s, and massively strengthened in the 16th century as an artillery fortress, Blackness became an ammunition depot in the 1870s. Sitting on the River Forth and protecting the one time seaport of Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, the castle, whilst small, is an impressive sight.
The Castle was restored by the Office of Works in the 1920s and is presently managed by Historic Scotland.
