Location
Blackness is a small village with a harbour at Blackness Bay on the Firth of Forth. The village is renowned for its castle, which is situated on a promontory overlooking the bay, which originally served as a port for nearby Linlithgow. The surrounding area provides a choice of beaches, woodland walks, and a play park and also sits on the recently upgraded John Muir Way which is popular with walkers and cyclists. The village boasts its own primary school, boat club, church, newly refurbished restaurant and beer garden, and general store. Blackness Castle is owned by Historic Scotland and is popular as a tourist attraction and filming location. The stars of the 1990 film, "The Hamlet", Mel Gibson and Glenn Close used this property as a dressing room during filming, hence the name of the house today! More recently, the castle featured in the film “Robert the Bruce” and the hugely popular series “Outlander”. Close to Bo'ness and Linlithgow which are both popular, bustling town centres supporting a wide range of family-run businesses and restaurants with Sainsbury, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi supermarkets all represented, the village has it's own primary school with secondary education provided at Bo'ness Academy. Blackness is ideally positioned for both the M9 and M8 motorway routes. The M9 gives quick access to Edinburgh and the M8 to Glasgow respectively. The area provides excellent road links to Fife, central Scotland and beyond. The railway station at Linlithgow offers regular services to Glasgow and Edinburgh, making this an ideal base for commuting.
