The storied history of Alloa Tower

The storied history of Alloa Tower

This week, Jackie’s stepping back in time at Alloa Tower: the ancestral seat of a family that played a pivotal role in the history of Scotland. Now surrounded by two housing estates and a supermarket, the tower has, in the past, been part of the stories of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Jacobite Uprisings, and James VI.

Join her as she meets the Trust team at Alloa Tower and unpicks some of these interconnected tales, and how a fortified tower came to house opulent 18th century interiors.

Find out more about Alloa Tower here.
