You might be free to visit today, but Rough Castle hasn't always been so welcoming! Learn the story behind this mighty stronghold and exactly what it was built to defend.

Rough Castle is an interesting place kick off your day in Bonnybridge. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like The Kelpies, Callendar House, and Macdonald Inchyra Hotel Spa to fully experience what the area has to offer.

The staff/owners were so very welcoming and helpful always looking out for our needs. Even a completely unexpected ride in the rain to the train station! 😊 Breakfast was wonderful with plenty of choices! Room was clean, quiet and ever so relaxing! Would love to return.

My second time staying. This time the sweet had a beautiful expanded and modern kitchen. However, virtually no dishes, pots or pans and no cutlery. Needless to say it was a beautiful kitchen, but not as much use except to keep things in the fridge. Manager should at least add some cutlery.
