Highlights of the Central Scotland Tour
The Kelpies – Falkirk
Standing at 30 metres tall, The Kelpies are the largest equine sculptures in the world. These breathtaking steel monuments pay tribute to Scotland’s working horse heritage and make for incredible photo opportunities. Your guide will share the mythology behind these shape-shifting water spirits that inspired the design.
Stirling Castle – Crown Jewel of Scottish History (external view or optional visit)
Once the favoured residence of the Stewart monarchs, Stirling Castle sits atop a volcanic outcrop with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. You can choose to admire it from outside or opt to explore within (entry fees apply).
The National Wallace Monument (optional stop)
Erected in honour of Scotland’s famous freedom fighter, William Wallace, this iconic tower overlooks the site of the Battle of Stirling Bridge. If time allows, we can stop for a short walk and photo opportunity or a visit inside (entry optional).
