Kinneil House, Renaissance castle in Falkirk, Scotland
The mansion stands on an escarpment overlooking the Forth Estuary, featuring a six-story tower with thick sandstone walls and a residential wing.
The Hamilton family received the land from Robert the Bruce in the 14th century, and construction of Castle Lyon, later Kinneil House, began in 1473.
The residential wing contains renaissance wall paintings from the 16th century, representing some of the most important historical murals in Scotland.
Guided tours operate on Saturdays from Easter to September, with advance reservations required through Historic Environment Scotland.
The grounds contain remains of the Roman Antonine Wall, while ancient shell middens known as De'il's Kitchen indicate prehistoric settlements.
