Old Tulliallan Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Located amongst woodland a half-mile (1 km) north of Kincardine, Old Tulliallan Castle is an unusual 14th century hall-house surrounded by a D-shaped ditch and rampart. It comprises two storeys and a basement, with its principal rooms on the ground floor, modified through later additions and internal alterations. A castle was certainly here by 1304, when Edward I ordered it to be strengthened. Thereafter it became the property of the Douglas family, who granted it to the Edmonstones in 1402. In 1486, Tulliallan passed through marriage to the Blackadders, who were responsible for a major reconstruction. Finally, in 1605, the castle became the property of the Bruces of Carnock and was lived in until 1662. The estate was sold to Admiral Lord Keith in 1798 and he built a new castle a half-mile (1 km) to the southeast in 1820.

Rhododendron Tunnel

Highlight • Forest

Much of Devilla Forest was once part of the rich Tulliallan Estate with the castle to the west. Some areas of the woods have been planted with what was then considered exotic specimen species like rhododendron trees. These are very pretty, especially when in bloom but do spread and the dense canopy and thick leaves stop any other plants from growing.
