The agency which maintains a historic Fife landmark is to meet police to discuss how to prevent youths from using it as a drinking den.
Historic Scotland has said that its staff will carry out an urgent inspection of Ravenscraig Castle after a 14-year-old boy fell 30 feet after climbing a wall last weekend.
Ethan King, a Kirkcaldy High School pupil, was one of as many as 100 young people at the attraction last Saturday night, with many drinking alcohol illegally at the time of the incident.
The teenager has been treated in hospital this week for a ruptured spleen and broken pelvis.
With the building remaining accessible to the public at all times, Historic Scotland, the body which looks after the castle, says it will now discuss ways to deter youngsters from gathering at the spot.
A spokesman for the government agency told The Courier: “We are meeting with Police Scotland to carry out an inspection of the site and will work with them and Fife Council in order to explore recent issues around anti-social behaviour.”
The castle has always been popular with young people looking to congregate at weekends.
Police say that this has escalated in recent weeks and this weekend will see extra officers deployed in the park, part of a wider clampdown on anti-social behaviour in the area.
Many of the youngsters are drinking alcohol illegally, and Sergeant Jimmy Adamson has warned off-licences that they will be checking for premises selling drink to under-agers.
Councillor Kay Carrington said parents would be crucial in deterring youngsters from going near the castle.
“Historically that is where the young people have gone, though quite often there is little sign of it afterwards,” she said.
“Nobody is supposed to drink in the park and sometimes these rules are there for a reason.
“Parents need to have a word with their children if we are going to stop any further accidents here.”
