Airth Castle

Airth Castle overlooks the village of Airth and the River Forth, in the Falkirk area of Scotland. The castle is a major historic building, and retains much medieval fabric, and is designated as a Category A listed building by Historic Scotland. The castle is situated in 14 acres of wooded parkland and landscaped gardens. It is currently operated as a country retreat hotel and spa, and is one of Central Scotland's largest wedding, banqueting, conference, and exhibition venues catering for around 800 guests.

Airth Castle took over ownership of Airth Castle when Edward Bruce, the second son of Sir Robert Bruce, married Agnes Airth. Edward's son, Robert Bruce, got the title of Airth Castle after his father died. Robert joined the opposition rebellion against James II, and this decision resulted in the burning down the castle in 1488.
