Forfar Castle Hill

Description

Castlehill, in the centre of Forfar, was the site of Forfar’s royal castle, around which the ancient burgh gradually developed. It was regularly visited by Scottish kings, including William I and Alexander II, but was destroyed by Robert I in 1308. The town’s mercat cross was later relocated there, and the hills still has commanding views over the town.
