Park information

Starbank Park commands dramatic panoramas over the Firth of Forth to Fife. A great place top watch the passing ships and brightly coloured yachts. Within the park there are annual beds; one shaped in as a eight-pointed star and two crescents.These depict the ‘Star of the Sea’ believed to be symbolic of a ship’s compass and harking back to the days when Forth sailormen navigated the oceans by the stars.

Starbank House is at the top of the park, where there is a formal Victorian garden park.  It’s borders are laid out with roses, herbaceous plants, herbs, ferns and bedding plants, giving colour and interest throughout the year.
