Blackness Castle from Above | Drone Video
Blackness Castle was built by the Crichtons in the 15th Century and this powerful family used the castle as an artillery fortress. Since the castle was built in the 1440s it has been used as a royal castle, prison, and more recently has even been used as a film location for TV shows, such as Ivanhoe and Outlander.
Because of its proximity to the water, unusual shape and its stone ship appearance, Blackness Castle has been nicknamed “the ship that never sailed”, and like a large ship that has washed up on the shores of the Firth, the castle’s north tower points out to sea like stern.
Blackness Castle is open to visitors throughout the year and if you are in Scotland and enjoy military history, Blackness Castle is a site you won't want to miss.

----------
Blackness Castle liegt am vordersten Punkt einer engen, felsigen Landzunge in den Firth of Forth. Diese ist in der Nähe der Ortschaft Blackness an der Ostgrenze von Falkirk.
Die Befestigungsmauer zeichnet grob die Umrisse eines Schiffes nach. Der „Bug“ zeigt nach Nordosten und das „Heck“ weist zum Land hin. Darauf ist auch der Beiname „Das Schiff, das niemals segelte“ zurückzuführen.
Erbaut wurde die Burg im 15. Jahrhundert, wahrscheinlich um 1440, durch den Clan Crichton. Zu jener Zeit zählte dieser zu den stärksten Clans der Region. Schon um 1453 schenkte George Crichton Blackness Castle dem schottischen König Jakob II. Fortan wurde die Burg als Truppenstützpunkt genutzt. Zwischen 1537 und 1543 baute Jakob V. die Burg zu einer Festungsanlage aus. Der Grund dafür war, dass er einen militärischen Konflikt mit dem englischen König Heinrich VIII. befürchtete. Geleitet wurden die Arbeiten von James Hamilton of Finnar, welcher eine der wehrhaftesten Festungen Schottlands schuf.
Kurz nach Abschluss der Arbeiten traten die Befürchtungen des Königs ein: Der Krieg mit England brach aus. Blackness Castle wurde dann auch landseitig mit Kanonen beschossen. Der Angriff wurde jedoch erfolgreich abgewehrt.
Im Laufe des folgenden Jahrhunderts wurde die Burg mehrfach angegriffen und belagert, doch nie eingenommen.
Dies änderte sich Im Jahre 1650. Die Truppen Oliver Cromwells zwangen die Festung in die Knie. Die dabei entstandenen Beschädigungen sind bis heute erhalten.
Doch die Burg diente nicht nur militärischen Zwecken. Über einen langen Zeitraum wurde sie auch als Gefängnis für Gegner der Krone genutzt. Zu den Insassen zählten auch viele angesehene Persönlichkeiten. Zum Beispiel David Beaton, Kardinal und Erzbischof von Saint Andrews. Dieser wurde in Blackness Castle um 1543 gefangen gehalten.
In der „Killing Time“ der 1670er und 1680er-Jahre waren zahlreiche Covenanters und schließlich im 18. Jahrhundert Gefangene aus den Kriegen gegen Spanien, Frankreich und die Vereinigten Staaten inhaftiert.
Bis in das 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Burg noch genutzt. Zuletzt diente sie ab 1870 als Munitionsdepot.
Nach dem ersten Welkrieg wurde Blackness Castle der Denkmalpflege übergeben und zur Touristenattraktion ausgebaut.
Blackness castle in linlithgow Scotland part:1this video is 20 minutes.
Blackness Castle looks across the River Forth to the naval dockyards of Rosyth, and along it to the Forth rail and two road bridges. The castle is first mentioned in 1449, although there had been a port at nearby Blackness serving the royal burgh of Linlithgow since the thirteenth century.
Today's visitor approaches through the little village of Blackness and along a narrow road leading to the small car park within the grounds set out to the south of the castle itself.
Blackness Castle forms one side of a grassy area surrounded by buildings. Most of these date from fairly recent times. The south range housing the Historic Environment Scotland shop was built as a barracks in the 1870s, while the more ornate west block served as the officers quarters from the same era. The castle came into royal hands in 1453 when the surrounding lands were annexed by King James II. It spent much of the next century serving as a royal prison housing the more prestigious of the King's various enemies.
Much of what you see today dates back to a major reconstruction between 1537 and 1543 under King James V. This transformed Blackness Castle into one of strongest artillery fortifications of its age. This is most obvious in the labyrinthine entrance via the west spur of the south tower, which includes a caponier designed to deal severely with those unwanted visitors who succeeded in getting through the outer gate.
This passage within the thickness of the wall provides loopholes pointing back into the courtyard between the outer and inner entrances.
But the most formidable aspect of Blackness Castle's 16th century defences are to be found in the South Tower, where the south facing walls were strengthened to produce a wall 5.5 metres thick. These are pierced in several places at ground level to allow artillery to fire to the south and south east.
These defences served the castle well until Oliver Cromwell's Scottish campaign in 1650 (see our Historical Timeline). By now artillery was more powerful and had much longer range, and Cromwell had the advantage of attacking from both land and sea. The castle eventually surrendered, though not before being badly damaged. It was repaired and further altered in 1660.
Blackness Castle's later history echoed its earlier role as a prison when it helped house the large number of French taken prisoner during the wars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In 1870 it became the army's central ammunition depot in Scotland. It was at this time that the buildings around the grassy courtyard to the south of the castle were built, together with the pier. Meanwhile, the whole of the open area of the castle was covered with an iron and concrete roof.
1912 the army left Blackness Castle, only to return during the first world war before departing for good in 1918. The castle was designated as an ancient monument, and between 1926 and 1935 a major programme of work undid many of the changes since 1870, returning the castle to a representation of something more medieval.
Having made your way through the entrance complex, you find yourself in a remarkable courtyard, formed largely of natural rock still extremely uneven after 600 years of constant wear. Equally remarkable is the shape of the castle itself, looking like a ship pointing out into the River Forth. As a result, the South Tower is also known as the Stern Tower; while the North Tower, at the more pointy end of the castle, is also known as the Stem Tower.
This shape can be well appreciated from the North Tower as you look along the wall walks extending either side of the castle and past the Central or Prison Tower. While you are in the North Tower, spare a though for those who annoyed the prison guards enough to be cast into the pit below it: accessed via a hatch in the floor of the lower level of the tower. Its only benefit was running water: twice a day at high tide.
The best views of the River Forth and the surrounding landscape can be had from the roof of the Central Tower. This is the highest point in the castle and an excellent place to catch the sun - or the wind - as you admire the illusion of the apparently conjoined structures of the rail and road bridges.

Hi everyone thank you very much for watching really appreciated here is some information about the castle also link below thank you for reading hope you have a nice day this last part????????
HISTORY OF CRAIGNETHAN CASTLE:
Craignethan Castle was built by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart who was an illegitimate son of James Hamilton, Earl of Arran. A committed Catholic he served under James IV and was knighted in 1513 before his master's death at the Battle of Flodden. He then supported Regent John Stewart, Duke of Albany during the minority of James V and this included extensive travelling abroad in France and Italy. With the death of his father in March 1529, Finnart became guardian of his legitimate half-brother - James Hamilton, Earl of Arran (and later Duke of Châtellerault). His rise to power continued and he was assigned as Master of the King's Works where he used his continental experience to enhance multiple sites including Blackness Castle, Falkland Palace and Stirling Castle. He also built castles for himself - Cadzow and Craignethan were started around 1532 - with the latter designed from the start as an artillery fortification.
Situated some six miles north-west of Lanark, Craignethan was built upon a rock bluff overlooking the confluence of the River Nethan and Craignethan Burn. This steep scrap protected it on three sides whilst a deep ditch provided defence for the west. At the base of this ditch was a caponier - a feature common in later fortifications but state-of-the-art in the mid-sixteenth century. Such defences, the name of which was derived from capannata (little hut), enabled enfilading fire along the base of the ditch. It was perhaps a little too revolutionary for it lacked sufficient ventilation for the early firearms used within and was replaced with a transverse wall at the other end of the ditch. Despite these impressive defences, the defensive nature of the castle was undermined by the high ground that overlooked it from the west - described by one contemporary as situate in a hole, and commanded on every part.
Finnart's career came to an abrupt end in July 1540 when he was arrested and accused of plotting against the King. It was alleged he had designed a throwing machine and had attempted to kill James V whilst at Linlithgow Palace with a projectile. He was placed on trial, convicted and beheaded in short succession. The castle, along with the rest of Finnart’s possessions, was taken into Crown ownership. When James V died in 1542, James Hamilton, Earl of Arran became Regent. He restored his former half brother's estate to his heir with the exception of Craignethan Castle which he kept for himself. The castle was only ever a secondary residence for him however; his main seat was at Kinneil House (on the line of the Antonine Wall).
In 1554 Arran was replaced as Regent by Marie de Guise, mother to Queen Mary. He continued to be involved in Scottish politics however and was briefly exiled in 1566 for opposing the Queen's marriage to Lord Henry Darnley. By the time he returned in 1567, Mary's regime had collapsed and she was imprisoned at Lochleven Castle where she had been forced to abdicate. He aided her escape and hosted her at his castles of Craignethan and Cadzow on her way to the secure fortress at Dumbarton. However she was intercepted and her forces defeated at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568. Due to his support for Mary, Craignethan Castle was attacked and captured by James Stewart, Earl of Moray who was Regent for the young James VI. His hold was brief - Lord Claud, third son of the Earl of Arran, re-captured the castle utilising siege apparatus seized from the Government. Claud provisioned the castle for a counter-siege but the Government lacked the ability or energy to dislodge him. This was a mistake for 23 July 1570 Claud launched an attack from Craignethan that intercepted and killed Regent Moray at Linlithgow.
In May 1573 the fall of Edinburgh Castle ended the final resistance in support of Mary, Queen of Scots. The Hamiltons came to an uneasy peace with the Government but it was only fleeting - the Catholic family ultimately fell foul of the Protestant regime of James VI and were forfeit in 1579 with the surviving members fleeing to England. Craignethan Castle was slighted to prevent further military use.
John Hamilton (later Marquis of Hamilton), along with a number of other exiles and with the support of Elizabeth I, raised an army and invaded Scotland in 1585. Rather than fight, James VI capitulated and rescinded Hamilton's forfeiture. Despite Craignethan's defences having been destroyed, the Tower House remained in use and was probably occasionally occupied by the Marquis. It was sold to Andrew Hay in 1659 who built the new range in the Outer Courtyard. In 1815 the castle became famous as the inspiration for Tillietudlem Castle in Sir Walter Scott's novel Old Mortality.

Tour Inverness Scotland : Brodie Castle
Tour Inverness Scotland : Brodie Castle
Brodie Castle. A National Trust for Scotland Property.
Brodie Castle. This fine 16th-century tower house is packed with enough art and antiques to keep connoisseurs happy all day. The castle tells the fascinating story of the Brodie family.
Built in 1567 by the Brodies. It is widely accepted that the Brodies have been associated with the land and the castle since the 1160s, when it is said that King Malcolm IV gave the land to the family.
The castle has a central keep with two 5-storey towers on opposing corners. In common with other fortified homes of the time it has no castle wall. It has a guardroom and secret passages to help the occupants escape.
Brodie castle is known for its fine daffodil collection, and is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and open to tourists throughout the summer months.
Set in peaceful parkland, It contains fine French furniture; English, continental and Chinese porcelain; and a major collection of paintings, including 17th-century Dutch art, 19th-century English watercolours, and early 20th-century works. The magnificent library contains some 6,000 volumes. Brodie has unusual plaster ceilings.
There is a woodland walk with a large pond and a nature trail with access to wildlife observation hides.
An ancient Pictish monument known as Rodney’s Stone can be seen in the castle grounds.
In springtime the grounds are carpeted with many varieties of daffodils for which Brodie Castle is rightly famous.
Brodie Castle is slightly further away, between the historic Moray towns of Nairn and Forres, so is perhaps not first on the castle list for the majority of visitors to the Highlands. That is a real shame (for them, not us!) as this sensitively restored 16th century castle is an absolute gem, where generations of the Brodie Clan have lived. The clan’s legacy is a fascinating history, a building which features a variety of impressive architectural and decorative styles, and “enough art and antiques to keep connoisseurs happy all day”.
Blackness Castle (of Outlander fame) on the John Muir Way
Join the Absolute Escapes team as they walked part of the John Muir Way from Linlithgow to South Queensferry. You can see Blackness Castle of Outlander fame in the background ...
Officially opened in 2014, the John Muir Way is the newest of Scotland’s official long distance trails, running through the heartland of the country. In a tribute to the 19th-century conservationist and father of national parks, the trail takes you from the West coast at Helensburgh, to his birthplace at Dunbar on the East Coast.
It’s a walk of contrasts, taking in stunning beaches, quiet canals, rolling farmland and picturesque woodlands. At 134 miles it is one of the longest of Scotland's trails, but offers one of the best serviced of Britain’s coast-to-coast expeditions. It is well waymarked and offers few sustained climbs - a great option for someone looking at their first long distance walk!
It is also a route which visits some of the architectural and archeological highlights of Scotland, including the Roman Antonine Wall, Linlithgow Palace, the Falkirk Wheel, the Forth Bridges and the City of Edinburgh.
