Blackness Castle, located in the village of Blackness in Scotland, is a 15th-century fortress known for its distinctive ship-like shape, often referred to as "the ship that never sailed." Originally built by the Crichton family, the castle has served various roles throughout history, including a royal residence, garrison fortress, state prison, and armaments depot. Its strategic position on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth provided a strong defensive advantage.
