What is recorded here

Old Tulliallan Castle is a medieval ruin near Kincardine, Fife, built in the early 1400s by the Colville family and abandoned in the 17th century after they moved elsewhere. It guarded strategic routes to Stirling and Edinburgh, and tradition holds that Mary, Queen of Scots stayed there in 1565 during her tour of Fife. Today its moss-covered stones stand among woodlands by the River Forth, two miles southwest of the Gothic Revival New Tulliallan Castle, which has trained Scottish police since 1960.
