About this tour

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your accommodation and drives you in a private vehicle toward Falkirk. The Kelpies dominate the landscape—two enormous horse heads rising beside the Union Canal, best appreciated from multiple angles and distances. You'll have time to walk around them, photograph, and absorb the scale. Next comes the Falkirk Wheel: you'll see the engineering marvel up close, watch the rotating mechanism if timing permits, and learn how boats travel between two canal levels. The tour maintains an unhurried pace suited to small-group dynamics.
