I think I would consider this no tide versus low tide. The first time I was at Blackness Castle I was told it was low tide and this time the water was even lower.

Inside Blackness Castle in Linlithgow Scotland. Once again finding a window I couldn’t walk past without taking a photo. Good morning from What’s on Heather’s Phone.

A moody day at Bkackness Castle. Outlander fans may recognize this area as Wentworth prison from multiple seasons. Good morning from What’s on Heather’s Phone.

A stone doorway, around 5ft 9 in height. Leading to a room with stone walls and a window letting in daylight.
Handy reminder how smol people were in the past.

An aerial view of Blackness Castle, a medieval fortress stretching along the shoreline of the Firth of Forth in Scotland. The castle’s stone walls and towers extend into the water, giving it the nickname “The Ship That Never Sailed” due to its long, narrow shape resembling a vessel. The surrounding landscape is a mix of rolling green fields, a quiet coastal village, and the vast waters of the estuary, with a moody, overcast sky adding to the atmosphere. Originally built in the 15th century by the powerful Crichton family, Blackness Castle later became a royal fortress, state prison, and artillery stronghold. It housed many high-profile prisoners, including nobles who fell out of favor with the monarchy. The fortress played a role in Scotland’s turbulent history, enduring sieges and battles over the centuries. In modern times, the castle gained pop culture fame as Fort William in Outlander, where some of the show’s most intense scenes were filmed. Whether you’re into Scottish history, coastal views, or cinematic locations, Blackness Castle is a place full of stories.
Blackness Castle—Scotland’s very own “Ship That Never Sailed” 🏰⚔️ Sitting on the shores of the Firth of Forth, this fortress was once a prison, garrison, and artillery stronghold. Oh, and Outlander fans—yes, it was Fort William! 😏 #Scotland #BlacknessCastle #History #Outlander #FirthofForth
