Stirling In the historic city of Stirling there is Stirling Castle, Bannockburn Heritage Centre, the Old Town Jail, and of course the Wallace Monument. You can also take part in the Ghost Walk around Stirling and there are tour buses which take you around most of the places mentioned. Falkirk Places worth visiting in Falkirk include Callendar House, where you can step back in time and see how the estate was run in the olden days, and the Parish Church in the town centre from where Falkirk takes it's name. The original church (or kirk) built on this site was known as the "Faw" or Speckled Kirk. The newest and most popular attraction in the Falkirk area is The Falkirk Wheel which is a rotating boat lift that joins the Forth and Clyde and Union canals. It is well worth a visit, but booking in advance is recommended. |

Surrounding Areas In the nearby village of Callander an exhibition about Rob Roy is worth visiting and if you travel further North to Balquhidder you can find his grave too. If history doesn't interest you the impressive scenery is bound to with The Trossachs mountain range starting at Callander. The road between Callander and Aberfoyle known as "The Duke's Pass" (the A821) is breathtaking running along the banks of Loch Venacher and Loch Achray and through the mountains. It is worth stopping off at Loch Katrine and having a sail on the SS Sir Walter Scott. |
