P3 visited Blackness Castle on Monday 19th March. We were very lucky as it didn’t rain the whole day but it was a bit windy! We were told all about the castle’s history and we learned that the nickname for Blackness Castle is The Ship that Never Sailed. We also got to look at, and try on, artefacts from medieval times, including helmets, coins, shoes, stamps, writing sets and arrows. In the castle, we saw a drawbridge, towers, the great hall, a latrine, a well, crenellations, the battlement and a pit (or prison). We all enjoyed our visit and have written reports about our experience.
