One of the most representative structures of the Ruta de las Torres
One of the most representative structures of the Ruta de las Torres and one of the biggest in the city of Clackmannan. On a hill named "the seat of the King" on the back of Clackmannan, this 5-story building was constructed during the century by order of King David II of Scotland who later sold it to his nephew Robert the Bruce in the year 1359 , who got the country's independence. The widow of the last owner had as a guest, the poet and writer, Robert Burns "The Bard of Scotland" during the 17th century. After, the tower house was falling out of favor until it was donated to the government, who cares and exploits it now.
At present, access can only be done on foot, cross country and in most cases only its exteriors. Access to the interior is restricted and can only be done by appointment, which must be justified by an academic institution. We are working to enable access to the interior, but it has been slow. Certainly it deserves much more and it is worth the visit when you can do the full tour, however it is a place with beautiful views: on one side the Forth River valley, the other mountains of the Ochil Hills, Clackmannan people and Finally access to Stirling from the East.
