SCOTLAND - PLANE CASTLE

Plane Castle, located on the edge of the Bannockburn battlefield combines the authentic feel of a medieval castle with modern day comforts.

The 650 year old Plane Castle was the baronial house of the Sommervilles, the Lords of Plane from 1449 to 1643. The castle for a number of years fell into ruin, but in recent years has being restored. The first of the restoration been undertaken by David Menzies. In 1991 the ruin was bought by the Wright family and is now re-opening its doors after being lovingly restored by Nancy and John Patrick Wright and their sons. Located in central Scotland, Plane Castle makes an ideal location from which to visit all of Scotland, from the busy cities to the tranquil highlands.
