Airth Castle

Airth Castle is a medieval stone castle overlooking the village of Airth and the River Forth in Falkirk, Scotland. The site preserves substantial medieval fabric with a prominent cylindrical southwest tower and a mid-16th-century eastward extension; it has been used as a hotel in recent decades and is a Category A listed building. Parts of the complex were damaged by fire in 2024.

As it stood in 1560

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact ashlar-stone castle of pale sandstone with a cluster of cylindrical, battlemented towers linked by crenellated curtain walls and a rectangular central range; the southwest round tower is the earliest visible element and a later eastward wing extends the main block. Rooflines are dominated by parapets rather than high pitched roofs, and narrow vertical windows punctuate the facades. The castle stands on rising ground above a village with the River Forth visible beyond the lawns and approach drive.
