Discover Stirling & Forth Valley
Stirling’s historic skyline, Falkirk’s canal engineering and the wider Forth Valley offer varied Scottish inland days. You can combine heritage, public art and manageable outdoor exploring without making every outing a long journey into the hills.
Choose a local cluster for each day. Stirling and Falkirk are distinct destinations with their own attraction bookings, transport and visitor routes, so give each more than a brief passing stop.
Start exploring
Three ways to discover Stirling & Forth Valley
Choose a starting point, then take the day at your own pace.
Landscape & art
The Kelpies
Plan a visit around current park, access and tour information. Distinguish exploring the surrounding public space from any separately booked guided experience.
Plan your visit (opens in a new tab)Canal engineering
Falkirk Wheel
Look into the canal attraction and current boat-trip programme. Check operating and booking arrangements directly instead of assuming trips run every day or in all conditions.
