Falkirk’s famous horse sculptures became instantly iconic the moment they were unveiled and today they are one of the most popular sights in central Scotland.

Northwest of the capital city of Edinburgh, sit the towns of Falkirk and Stirling, two of central-Scotland’s gems, each boasting their own rich mix of historical sites and contemporary art, as well as their surrounding rural landscapes replete with stunning vistas. Travellers to the heart of Scotland will learn about the complex history of the region where the hard fought battles of the Wars of Independece were won, and past Scottish kings lived and ruled over their northern kingdom. Often overlooked for more glamarous or remote destinations, a trip through Falkirk, Stirling, and the central belt of Scotland will allow you to discover the true beauty and allure of Scotland’s past and present.

Learn about archeology, recent history and contemporary art from the region at this museum whose focus is the Stirling Story.
