It was built, probably on the site of an earlier fort, by Sir George Crichton in the 1440s. At this time, Blackness was the main port serving the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, one of the main residences of the Scottish monarch. The castle, together with the Crichton lands, passed to King James II of Scotland in 1453, and the castle has been crown property ever since. It served as a state prison, holding such prisoners as Cardinal Beaton, and the 6th Earl of Angus.Strengthened by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart in the mid 16th century, the castle became one of the most advanced artillery fortifications of its time in Scotland.

New toilet facilities, updated heating and a complete re-decoration of the church were undertaken. This was completed around 2000. With this done, the congregation girded its loins to face the much more daunting task of restoring the structure of the building itself. There was obvious need to replace much stonework which had become eroded by time and weather. Since the aim was to secure the viability of the fabric for the next hundred years, there was also a need to make good any hidden weaknesses in the roof.Jocelyn Cunliffe of Gray Marshall & Associates was appointed as architect and professional adviser to St Michael’s. An extensive survey of the structural state was completed and a schedule of work... |
