The Kelpies in Stirling are certainly the best known of the Andy Scott sculptures, but then again many probably don't know they were even created by Andy Scott. But even if you know about the Kelpies, you may not be aware that Scott has a number of other metal sculptures around Scotland. To the northeast and east of Stirling, there are a number of Scott's sculptures, most located in roundabouts. We began a tour searching them out beginning with the northernmost one, "Foxboy", located near the villages of Midtown and Menstruie. "River Spirit" and "I Can See For Miles" are literally within sight of one another near a mall in Alloa. There are seven sculptures in all near Stirling (not incl. the Kelpies) starting from the north, leading you down southward toward the Kelpies. Scott also has a sculpture in a mall atrium in Aberdeen - "The Leopard". Another, "The Rise", is on the north bank of the River Clyde, at the Glasgow Harbor Flats apartments just west of the Glasgow city centre. The "Lomondgate Stag" is north of Dumbarton, northwest of Glasgow. There is also at least one other that we were not able to see - "The Phoenix" - near the M8 to the east of Glasgow. We made a point to try and find each one of them ... and we found almost all of them.

Formerly known as the Castle of Glooms, this castle is beautifully sited upon a narrow bridge overlooked by the Ochil Hills. The 15th century fortress of Castle Campbell is dramatically situated above Dollar Glen. The oldest part is a well-preserved 15th century tower around which other buildings were constructed, including an unusual loggia. Castle Campbell was once the home of the powerful Campbell earls of Argyll, and has connections with historical figures such as John Knox and Mary Queen of Scots.
From the moment we stepped foot into the castle grounds we were greeted y such a lovely friendly member of staff. The castle itself is great and although a lot is no longer standing what is left is great. The rooms, the original staircase, costumes to try on and a great kids quiz to complete. We were here about 2 hours. The views are amazing and picnic facilities indoor and out. So pleased we visited then we went for a stroll down the Campbell Glenn. Stunning! And all dog friendly Afterwards we went to a local tea rooms Perfect
