Castle Hill, St Ninian's Chapel

Chapel (medieval)(possible), Redoubt (17th Century)(possible)

What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Falkirk may have worn a medieval chapel or a 17th-century redoubt, but no surviving feature forces that choice. The hill could have held prayer one century and gunpowder the next, shifting from devotion to defence without warning. People may have climbed it to pray, fought from it to kill, or simply watched the valley change beneath them.
