<p>http://www.airthcastlehotel.com/tour-the-castle/history.htm<br>the history of airth castle <br>Majestically overlooking the River Forth, Airth Castle still manages to impress many passers by. This is not at all surprising if you consider that Airth Castle has been around since the 14 th Century and thus has a vivid history. </p><p>Airth Castle is situated on one of the two hills in Airth and this is where its name came from originally; ERTH (Ardhe in Gaelic) signifies a hill. It was also the ERTH family who were the first to occupy Airth Castle in 1309. Before this time the ERTH family owned considerable amounts of land in the Stirlingshire area, before they decided to build a Castle to stipulate the nobleman ship of Fergus the ERTH.</p><p>Around 1440 Edward Bruce, the second son of Sir Robert Bruce of Clackmannan, married Agnes AIRTH, one of three daughters and co-heiresses of William AIRTH. This is when the Airth Castle ownership changed families. Edward&rsquo;s son, Robert Bruce, got the title of Airth Castle after his father sadly passed away. Robert turned out to be quite a rebel when he decided to join the rebel lords. As a result the opposition, namely James II, decided to take revenge on his decision by burning down the castle on the 11 th of June 1488. It took Robert more than a year to receive compensation for this dreadful act of revenge, which ended up being 100.00 pounds exactly. It was &lsquo;for byggen of his place that was byrnt&rsquo;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
