Former Castle Hotels in Airth

Located in the Falkirk area of Scotland and overlooking the River of Firth, Airth Castle is said to date as far back as the 13th century. William Wallace, the 'Braveheart' of Scotland, is said to have attacked the castle in order to rescue his uncle. Parts of the castle were destroyed in the 15th century, and in the 16th century an extension was added to the building. The ruins of a parish church of Airth can also be found inside the castle's walls, while it is considered as a historic building of grave importance even until today.

The Witchery by the Castle was established by James Thomson, one of the most famous restaurant owners in Scotland, at a historic building at the gates of Edinburgh Castle. It takes its name from the hundreds of women burned at the stake as witches on Castlehill during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Witchery occupies a substantial 16th century building, Boswell’s Court, named after a former resident, James Boswell. With its antique-filled suites secreted within dreamy 16th-century building, guests are swept into an opulent, Gothic fantasy.
