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. And now it has re-opened 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.
Both Plane Tower c.1430, and the Manor House c.1523, are now available as two self-catering accommodation units which can be let individually or together. They are linked by an external balcony.
The grounds cover 3-4 acres and include a rose garden, orchard and large pond with families of geese, ducks and a roost of peacocks.
Inside, on the first floor, the Medieval Hall is dominated by a large fireplace with carved stonework, while the roof beams and ceiling are painted in the traditional manner.
The refectory table and benches accommodate eight guests. The window alcoves, with their stone seats, have been used for 650 years.
The Tower sleeps four and up to eight. The Manor House sleeps eight.
Plane has 57 golf courses within one hour's drive. Trains from the local station, Larbert, go every ½ hour to Edinburgh, taking 45 minutes and to Glasgow, taking 37 minutes.
