We have been to Wallace Monument, Bannockburn Centre, Stirling Castle.


Any other suggestions for places to go, things to see, restaurants?


Thanks

    Torbrex who posts over on the Arms took a pal around these areas and took photos, made up a couple of maps of itineraries, might give you some inspiration,. :)

    Had a good time. We visited;
    Falkirk Wheel
    Boness Motor Museum
    The Kelpies
    Calendar House
    Intended to visit the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, but got caught in a dreadful snow storm on route and turned back. Went to the Vue Cinema and had a nice meal at Nandos instead.




    "For sights a bit north and east around that area you coud glance at this thread.
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...5#post65894295" A bit too far and far too cold to visit those places.


    Thanks for all your helpful suggestions

    Are they free? I thought there was a charge.

    Do I need to pay to see The Kelpies? No. Access to The Kelpies is freely available 24/7, 365 days a year except in special circumstances. The Kelpies are lit up with LED lights an hour after sun down every night. The light-up time changes throughout the year with the weather and season.
    The only paid part of visiting The Kelpies is The Kelpies Experience Tour.
