Overview

Experience the best of Scotland on this unforgettable tour, which takes you to three of the country's most iconic landmarks: The Kelpies, Stirling Castle, and The Falkirk Wheel. Begin your journey at The Kelpies, 2 towering horse-head sculptures 30 meters tall in Helix Park near Falkirk. Created by artist Andy Scott, these awe-inspiring steel giants pay tribute to Scotland's industrial heritage and the working horses that once powered the region. Marvel at the sheer size and intricate design. Next your tour takes you to to the Falkirk Wheel, the world’s only rotating boat lift. This incredible feat of modern engineering connects two canals and lifts boats between them. Take a boat ride to experience this unique structure in action, or watch the Wheel rotate from the viewing platforms. Next, head to the historic Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important medieval fortresses. Sitting high on a volcanic rock, Stirling Castle has played a crucial role in Scotland’s history

Great trip

Loved seeing the Kelpies and the water wheel. Stirling Castle was difficult to walk around because of slippery, sloped walkways (I walk with a cane).

Go for it.

The giant horse heads were bigger than I expected and very impressive. Stirling Castle is one of the best and most interesting castles we visited. And of course there is the Falkirk wheel. We spent 2+ weeks touring Scotland and this stop was one of the highlights. I recommend both the tour and this stop. The people were very friendly and eager to help when we had questions.
