WHAT YOU VISIT
Sterling
Step back in time as you arrive in one of Scotland's oldest towns. Set among rocky crags and the winding River Forth, this charming town is known as Scotland's crossroads between the Highlands and Lowlands. You'll have two hours to explore the town on your own, peruse its many quaint shops, purchase a traditional lunch at one of the local pubs or tour Stirling Castle (entrance fee not included).

The Kelpies
Located inside Helix Park, The Kelpies are the largest equine sculptures in the world. Representing mythical water horses rooted in Norse mythology, each massive horse head is covered in over 900 stainless steel plates and stands 30 meters (100 feet) high.

The Falkirk Wheel
Designed to reconnect the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, the wheel raises boats by 24 meters (79 feet) replacing a series of 11 locks. The wheel has two giant, water-filled gondolas that holds the boats. Take a boat ride on the canal and sail into the wheel's gondola and up through through the Rough Castle Tunnel, and then descend back down.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Stirling is home to Stirling Castle. Dramatically perched atop an extinct volcano, the castle dates from the 15th and 16th centuries when it was the principal residence for Scotland's monarchs. Once believed to be the home of King Arthur and his knights, the castle's turbulent history is populated with a host of celebrated figures in Scotland's history, such as Robert the Bruce, William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots.
