2 Blackness Castle

Blackness Castle was built in 1440 by Sir George Crichton . At this time, Blackness was the main port serving the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, one of the main residences of the Scottish monarch.In 1453 King James II annexed the castle due to a dispute with Crichton, and the castle has been crown property ever since.

In 1650 Oliver Cromwell took the castle when he invaded Scotland .

The castle was used as a state prison, holding Cardinal Beaton and the 6th Earl of Angus

Blackness Castle has three claims to movie fame –

  • Outlander – Blackness Castle was Fort William  , where Jamie was whipped by Black Jack Randall
  • Outlaw King , starring Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce
  • Mary Queen of Scots
