• The Kelpies & The Helix - Experience the awe of walking among giants as you get up close to the stunning Kelpies. Delight in the ancient Scottish tales of these mythical beings and explore the area where the Gentle Giants once toiled on the land.

The Kelpies are inspired by a Scottish folktale, originally told to keep children away from dangerous waters, and also serve as a tribute to the Clydesdale horses that played a vital role in three key industries in this region.

Standing at 98 feet tall, these statues are a remarkable homage to the “Gentle Giants,” with intricate details best appreciated up close. A visitor center is available for guests to purchase souvenirs and take a break.

• The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre - Walk the grounds of one of Scotland’s most renowned battles as you delve into the story of Robert The Bruce and his remarkable triumph at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.

Stand on the historic battlefield and transport yourself to an era of mighty warlords and fierce battles.

• Stirling Castle - Stirling Castle is regarded by many historians as the most significant and historically important castle in Scotland. This visit allows guests to explore the castle and its magnificent palace. The castle’s stories predate its existence, having changed hands eight times between the Scots and the English over 400+ years of battles for Scottish independence.

A complimentary guided tour is included with admission, and when possible, the guide will accompany guests inside the castle, depending on parking availability. Regardless, guests will have approximately 90 minutes to explore the castle.

• Kilmahog Woollen Mill - Kilmahog is home to three of Scotland’s most famous Highland Cows, affectionately known as Hairy Coos by the locals.
