The Main Event

Embark on a remarkable journey with the Blackness Castle Cruise. This captivating cruise offers unparalleled views of the iconic Three Bridges, showcasing their grandeur from a unique vantage point. Whether you choose to enjoy the scenery from the open-air viewing deck or the cosy, heated saloon, the experience promises comfort and spectacular sights.

A highlight of the cruise is seeing Blackness Castle, famously known as the "ship that never sailed." This historic fortress, with its ship-like appearance, sits imposingly on the edge of the Firth of Forth. Built in the 15th century, Blackness Castle has served various roles, from a royal residence to a formidable military stronghold. Its rich history and dramatic location have made it a significant landmark in Scottish heritage.

Outlander fans will be thrilled to know that the Blackness Castle Cruise also offers a special connection to the popular TV series. Fans can immerse themselves in the magic of the show, experiencing firsthand the locations that brought the story to life on screen.

The cruise also offers a glimpse into literary history as it passes by Limekilns village, famously mentioned in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, Kidnapped. This quaint village is where the characters David Balfour and Alan Breck embarked on their adventurous journey across the Forth.
