My old Da was 78 on Thursday so took him & my mum for a wee day out to the Falkirk Wheel & Falkirk Kelpies. The Falkirk Wheel is a engineering marvel & well worth a visit if you appreciate stuff like that.

£9 for adults, £8 Concessions & £5 for kids for a 45min tour on a boat. Not too bad for a Scottish Tourist attraction.

Since we were through in Falkirk we thought we'd go see the 'Kelpies' too.

The Kelpies are absolutely magnificent, photos don't do them justice, much more majestic 'in the flesh' & really worth a look. Can do a wee guided tour inside of them for a fiver but we all agreed it would probably take away from their mystique (nowt to do with the fact I was paying    )

Unusually for Scotland the weather was fantastic, obviously added to the day.

Thanks for the review HH, I saw the wheel thing on the TV very recently, rep from me

me too   

Repped great photos thanks for sharing   

Top stuff HH!

Cheers folks, I appreciate it    Wasn't sure if it should go in the photo or review section as it was a mini-review with photos.
HH.

should be under Scotland, but dont worry I'll move it after most have seen it HH   

rep here as well. We were on the wheel in April. Some feat of engineering. It uses a 9 kw motor to turn. Thats the same as my shower!

moved it here HH until you are not UK, then Daryn will have to create a new section for Scotland lol
(he will hope you will stay with us to stop him having to do more work lol)
