Overview

  • Our first attraction of the day is a visit to a fold of 'Highland Coos'. Stop to admire these gentle beasts, capturing photos of their distinctive appearance and friendly nature.

    With your camera full of memorable shots, our next stop is Stirling Castle. Wander through its grand halls, walk along ancient ramparts, and learn about legendary figures like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.

    After exploring Stirling’s rich past, we will make our way to Falkirk, where modern engineering marvels await. First, you will visit the Falkirk Wheel, a breathtaking feat of engineering that lifts boats between two canal systems with a smooth rotation.

    Your next stop is The Kelpies, two gigantic horse head sculptures. These striking structures draw from Scottish folklore and the region’s mining heritage. You will be able to walk among these colossal sculptures, feeling small in their shadow, and appreciate the artistry and engineering behind them.

Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix

  • 20m
The Kelpies are 2 iconic equine sculptures by Glasgow sculptor Andy Scott. Standing 100 feet (30 metres) high, these are the tallest equine statues in the world, inspired by the cultural heritage of the Scottish Kelpies (water fairies), as well as the Clydesdale draught horses used in the local coal mines.

Falkirk Wheel

  • 20m
The Falkirk Wheel is the world's one and only rotating boat lift connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal. Thanks to a unique fusion of art and engineering, the Falkirk Wheel lifts boats 35 metres into the air in just a few minutes, using only the same amount of power it would take to boil eight kettles. Note: we will not have time to do the wheel boat ride on this tour.

Stirling Castle

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
With over 1000 years of history, Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most important historical sites, and its past features some of Scotland's most iconic characters, such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie. This incredible castle was once the favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens. After extensive restoration, the castle offers a unique experience with characters in period costume, as bodyguards, court officials and servants, who will tell you information about some of the main rooms you will visit, bringing the 16th century alive! There are also regular free tours by the knowledgeable castle guides departing regularly from the gate.

Pollok Country Park

  • 20m
See our world-famous Highland Cows! The Pollok Fold (herd) were brought down from the highlands of Scotland to graze the ground within Pollok Country Park nearly 200 years ago. The fold has 30 pedigree breeding females and 3 adult bulls, which calve mainly from March until June. Spending all year outside due to their double coat of hair, they can always be spotted in the fields of Pollok Park.
