World of Wings Birds of Prey Centre

We are Scotland's largest birds of prey centre. There are over 70 birds to see and fantastic flying displays every day. Our birds include eagles, falcons, owls, hawks, vultures and parrots. We are open from 10am till 5pm and the displays are at 12 noon and 3pm daily. The centre is open 7 days a week all year round. We do experiences where you can handle and fly the birds (booking required). Come and sample our home cooking at The Cabin Cafe.

Went along purely on a whim this afternoon and was very impressed indeed. I had read about World of Wings on social media and planned to go along at some point. Today was that day. The flying display was excellent - the staff were really relaxed and informative, and we had the opportunity to see owls, hawks, eagles and even a stork in flight! Will definitely be back.

Summerlee - Museum of Scottish Industrial Life

Reviewed By christine0253 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We used to take our own children to summerlee when they were younger and now we take our 3 grandchildren who love it just as much. There are plenty of things that the kids can get involved with and get their hands on and they love the tram to the old cottages and mine The cottages are all done up for various rooms through history which is really interesting and the children love everything about them. This museum is well worth the trip

National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Carfin Grotto

Reviewed By 10Korky10 - Stranraer, United Kingdom

I really can’t express how amazing this serene , beautifully kept place is. I only learned that it existed a couple of months ago as was in the area staying for a couple of nights with my husband. We wandered around the gardens in beautiful sunshine gasping at how wonderful Carfin grotto is. I caught mass in the chapel which made our visit even more special. I live 90 miles away but will be back. It is a free place to visit and I’ve been told there’s no more money to keep it open. We’d have happily have paid to visit. I pray that it dosent close

Discover Amazonia

Reviewed By LisaAnnsReviews - Okinawa City, Japan

We visited this afternoon with my 8 year son and he LOVED it. A wide variety of animals available to see (bats, snakes, coy carp, turtles, parrots, tamarin monkeys, ants, frogs, butterflies etc) and interesting talks held by their keepers. During the handling session my son got to hold a Royal Python, Russian Turtle and a Hissing Cockroach! A must do experience for all animal lovers! It's VERY hot inside so do NOT wear hot clothes such as wooly jumpers!
