Broomhall Castle

Broomhall Castle is a mansion house originally called Broom Hall and was built in 1874 by John Foukes and Frances Mackison for James Johnstone.

It is situated in Menstrie, Clackmannanshire, Scotland on the Ochil Hills and consists of three storeys and a tower.

In 1906 the wealth of the builder declined, and the Castle was sold to an Italian Riding School.

On Friday 28 June 1940 the building caught fire whilst the boarders were camping in the grounds.

There was a spectacular scene when the roof fell in, sending a shower of sparks heavenwards.
