Tulliallan Castle
Tulliallan Castle near Kincardine on Forth in Fife is a nineteenth-century Gothic Revival castle now serving as the Scottish Police College, providing training for police officers from across Scotland in a historic building of considerable architectural quality. The castle was built between 1817 and 1820 and is a notable example of early nineteenth-century Gothic Revival architecture in Scotland, its battlemented towers and Gothic windows reflecting the romantic medievalism fashionable at the time. The use of a Victorian Gothic castle as a modern police training establishment is one of the more unusual examples of adaptive heritage reuse in Scotland. The surrounding Forth valley landscape between Kincardine and Alloa has a strong industrial heritage associated with coal mining, distilling and the various industries that developed along the Forth estuary from the eighteenth century.
