Airth Castle Hotel Airth Falkirk District Scotland UK

I live in Airth and have already phoned the Police Scotland twice regarding the breaking in and illegal entry via the back windows of Airth Castle in the last weeks. This is a Grade A listed building and the drug users who use this site have already burnt part of the 1800s Coach House down. All this poses a major threat to our Scottish Heritage! Will the Government do something???

I got married here in 1988, it was a fantastic hotel, it rivalled anything in Edinburgh/Glasgow etc and all the big name footballers dined there on a very regular basis as did David Murray and Graeme Souness etc. All the new houses weren’t there at the time, it was fields and the hotel grounds and the Country Club/Leisure Centre has been extended since ‘88. Such a shame to see it in this state of disrepair and vandalised.

The whole place has been completely wrecked now. Really sad to see. Don't understand why it wasn't sold.

Stephen McLeod had been neglecting Airth Castle long before COVID. I was a member of the leisure centre there and they were losing members long before COVID as things were breaking and wouldn’t get fixed, I left 2017 when my annual membership ran out after months of the steam room not working mostly down to a faulty door, the jacuzzi rarely worked, the showers were hit and Miss and the changing rooms left a lot to be desired. Bizarrely though he did give us brief hope when he replaced the sauna - they put in a cracking new one. Inside new and old buildings there were some stunning features but also a fair bit of neglect. I had a family dinner for my 21st in the Castle (that wasn’t yesterday!) and I was at a curling club function there either 2016 or2016. By the time of the latter it was very tired.Feeling amongst many locals was that SM was no longer interested in it as he had Glenbervie House and The Parsonage. It is so sad because it had so much potential and had been a lovely place in its day 😢

You’re brave - it could be creepy in its hey day, no way I’d walk around it in its abandoned state. It is notoriously haunted.
