We visited the kelpies as part of the holiday itinerary with lochs and glens, towering above the forth and clyde canal they stand 30mtrs tall constructed of steel, designed by Andy Scott he moddeled the sculptures on two Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. These are an amazing sight to see it was definitely the highlight of the holiday, spectacular construction well worth the visit if you are in the area. It's all on the flat so walking around is easy and the visitors center has a café and information and gift shop also the horsebox café has a small gift shop.

I had not seen this site before when I came across it driving through Grangemouth . Set on an plinth is a full size replica of a spitfire , there is a comprehensive history of the airfield that was nearby during the 2nd World War There is also a list of pilots killed who flew from this area and also the Polish and other nations pilots who gave their lives . It is a well maintained site and is interesting from a historical perspective of the area

If your into your history and want to get a feel for places William Wallace visited, one of Scotland’s most famous patriots . Follow in his footsteps and visit the tomb of his most loyal friend and fallen commanders Sir John De Graeme ,here he lies in Falkirk to rest! just off the High Street a wonderful kept little kirk yard that holds other little interesting secrets for example The Bute Cross and another medieval grave for Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl who also sadly died at this Battle in Falkirk !
