- The Kelpies & The Helix - The Kelpies are two remarkable equine sculptures created by Glasgow artist Andy Scott. Towering at 100 feet (30 meters) tall, they are the largest equine statues globally, drawing inspiration from the Scottish Kelpies (water spirits) and the Clydesdale horses that worked in local coal mines.

- Falkirk Wheel - The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s only rotating boat lift, linking the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. This marvel of art and engineering elevates boats 35 meters in just a few minutes, using the same amount of energy as boiling eight kettles.
Note: The tour will not include time for the wheel boat ride.
- Stirling Castle - With a history spanning over 1000 years, Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most significant historical landmarks, associated with iconic figures like William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie.
This magnificent castle was once the preferred residence of the Stewart monarchy. Following extensive restoration, visitors can enjoy a unique experience with actors in period costumes portraying bodyguards, court officials, and servants, who provide insights into the main rooms, bringing the 16th century to life! Additionally, knowledgeable castle guides offer regular free tours departing from the gate.
- Pollok Country Park - Discover our renowned Highland Cows! The Pollok Fold (herd) was relocated from the Scottish Highlands to graze in Pollok Country Park nearly 200 years ago.
The fold consists of 30 pedigree breeding females and 3 adult bulls, primarily calving from March to June. With their double coat of hair, they remain outdoors year-round and can always be seen in the fields of Pollok Park.
