Thanks for letting us know about this Adam.

We all went to Blackness Castle this afternoon and fair enjoyed the day.
My sons [7, 9 & 10] had a ball racing around and investigating dark corners :shock:
Although it was chilly, it was clear so my camera was doing overtime :idea: :idea: :idea: as the Forth was smooth and calm.

Although we live nearby, it was the first time we'd actually been inside it, plenty other folk were there too, both locals and foreigners.

If you are free tomorrow folks and near somewhere on the list - make the most of it.
