I had heard about this amazing piece of engineering and we thought we would visit. So happy that we did. It's amazing. We paid for a guided trip, which I would thoroughly recommend. I cannot remember the name of the guide but he was really funny and knowledgeable. The views were stunning, the walks were amazing and to experience the wheel was brilliant

Hands down one of the best zoo in the UK. It's just £21 on the spot in 2025. it has an incredible story behind It so many animals and such a good variety. The zoo is very walkable. The talks were interesting. A big kids play area. And you can get chased by a goose. And some unique animals like the bear, the goose and more. I got no words, I was really happy there.

Unfortunately I was in the area when the actual railway was closed. I was gutted but I couldn’t make a day when it was open with my schedule. The museum was fantastic will review thet in there page. The Bo’ness railway looked great from What I saw at the platform and I was so lucky to see some kind of private steam Run whilst walking over the rail crossing, if I am in the area I will come again. It’s a case of use it or loose it with these heritage lines

Dunkeld Cathedral offers a serene experience by the River Tay. The partially ruined medieval architecture is set within peaceful grounds, providing a picturesque spot for reflection. The tranquil riverside location enhances the historical atmosphere, making it a beautiful place to visit.

Absolutely wonderful place. The waterfall is stunning and surrounding forest is gorgeous! Advisable to wear study and comfortable shoes as it can be very wet, muddy and slippery. There’s a public restroom and a small food truck/shop. Sufficient car park space. The observatory has a good view of the waterfall. Can spot lots of mushrooms :)

The Kelpies are absolutely stunning! A must-see attraction in Scotland — the giant horse-head sculptures are breathtaking, especially when the sunlight or night lights reflect off the metal. It’s a perfect spot for photography with plenty of beautiful angles around the park and canal. The café on site is lovely, with friendly and helpful staff and a nice selection of snacks, drinks, and ice cream. Everything was clean and well presented. The environment is spotless, well maintained, and peaceful — ideal for families or anyone wanting to relax and enjoy the scenery. There’s also ample car parking nearby, making it easy and convenient to visit. Overall, a fantastic experience — great art, great atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommend visiting The Kelpies!

Edradour has been closed for tours for a couple years now. The stated reason was lack of staff, but I have been told that since this distillery is so small and demand is so high, they have simply been selling faster than they can make it. They produce in a year what other distilleries produce in a day, so they say. If you want to try their wares, Robertsons on the high street in Pitlochry offers tastes and is their next point of sale with plenty of bottles available. When/if they finally open again for tours, you can access the distillery via a pathway that also goes to a massive waterfall and sort of connects to the Blair Atholl distillery, so that would be a fun walk for whiskey and nature lovers.

What an absolutely beautiful place! The long tree-lined drive up to the Drummond Castle is just the beginning of what to expect. The grounds are majestic. On the day we visited, it was a beautiful day which further enhanced these amazing gardens. It costs £10 per adult to get into the gardens via a small gift shop and then you go through to the courtyard where there is a small wagon selling tea, coffee and cakes. Down the impressive staircase you are met with the most impressive views over the gardens. It is such a lovely, special place.

Stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning (9:30am) and the cafe was nice and quiet. Was apprehensive after reading some reviews but had a great experience - staff were welcoming and friendly, food came quickly and was freshly cooked and really tasty (small breakfast and a sausage sandwich). Would definitely visit again!

An absolutely fantastic distillery tour! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I seriously recommend this experience. Our guide was clearly passionate about their product, and we learned so much about how they make their whisky — all done the old-fashioned way, which was fascinating to see. On top of that, there’s a lovely perfume store and a crystal shop on site, which made the visit even more

One of the best castles we visited in Scotland — and my wife’s absolute favorite. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, both at the parking area and the castle entrance, which set a great tone for the visit. The interior was spectacular, with beautifully decorated rooms full of intricate details. It truly felt like people were still living there — the presence of everyday household items added a unique, personal touch that made this castle stand out from all the others we toured. The experience was enhanced by a well-done audio guide that provided rich historical context about the castle and the family who lived there. To our delight, a piper played in front of the castle every full hour — an unexpected but wonderful bonus that added to the atmosphere. The gardens were also stunning and provided a peaceful and picturesque end to our visit. Overall, a fantastic experience that we highly recommend to anyone exploring Scotland’s castles.

Off the A9 about 5 miles on a windy road that sometimes only one car can pass by but well worth it. The views are amazing and takes your breath away. Paid parking, 3£ and done by app on the phone.

A Truly Memorable Visit to Wallace Monument The Wallace Monument is a wonderfully organized attraction with excellent access and free shuttle service. At the foot of the hill stands a spacious, free car park for both cars and buses – a thoughtful gesture from the local council. Nearby, you’ll find a visitor centre with a gift shop, clean toilets, and a café. The small shuttle bus departs regularly from just outside and takes visitors up the hill in about 3 minutes. For those who prefer to walk, the uphill path takes about 15 minutes – it’s quite steep but paved and equipped with benches for resting along the way. At the top, there’s a viewing terrace with benches placed around the tower, offering a place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Entrance to the monument closes at 5 PM, so make sure to arrive in good time. Exploring all the exhibition rooms inside the tower takes about 30 minutes, including climbing the very narrow spiral staircase. The exhibits are engaging and well-curated, including a short but informative film about the Battle of Stirling Bridge and the legendary William Wallace himself. The panoramic view from the observation platform at the top of the tower is absolutely breathtaking and leaves a lasting impression. The vista over the battlefield and the river below is truly unforgettable. After descending, consider stopping by the gift shop – it’s the best place to find affordable souvenirs such as magnets, T-shirts, and unique memorabilia. Opposite the shop, there is also a small bistro for drinks and light meals. You can return downhill either on foot or via shuttle. In total, the visit takes about 3 hours. On a beautiful day, this is a perfect spot for a short historical journey and an outdoor lunch with a view.

My wife and I went first thing in the morning when it opened at 930am. on a Saturday. The castle was wonderful and rich in history. We did not have a tour guide, just walked around ourselves and enjoyed the beauty and architecture of this historical place. The views are stunning. About a 17-minute uphill walk from the train station, and it seemed way faster on the way down, like 5 minutes. It's worth exploring and enjoying the excellent and magnificent history Scotland has to offer. It also has a few gift shops around the location and also toilets which is a plus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Don't forget your Stirling Castle Magnets!

Often referred to as the “Harrods of the North,” The House of Bruar is a renowned Scottish retail destination offering fine country clothing, luxury food halls, and curated homeware. Situated near the picturesque Falls of Bruar, it has become a must-visit for travellers seeking both quality and charm. We visited just before exploring the Falls and were genuinely impressed by how immaculately kept the entire venue is. The sheer number of individual shops and departments—twenty, according to the main board—is remarkable. Staff were attentive and courteous throughout, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully curated. A generously sized car park sits just across the road, and you'll find clean toilets, a lovely restaurant, and even a charming bakery to tempt you further.

So fun fact, Outlander and Monty Python was filmed in certain areas, and some of the rooms were recreated from this castle. The audio guide was great and gave you fascinating information about the history, back stories on outlander, as were as Monty Python and the holy Grail. They also sell shirts for Monty Python in the gift shop along with outlander gifts. The only negative parts is not enough parking, but in the center of town 5-11 minutes away, there is free parking, if you are walking.

Absolutely fantastic place to step back into the past. Staff are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Cafe is vary reasonably priced as is the gift shop. Plenty of good free parking and easy to find. We'll worth a visit for all ages.

Beautiful cemetery within walking distance of Glasgow city centre. Spent about an hour looking around. I'm sure there would be something interesting to see each visit. Very peaceful with lovely views of Glasgow Cathedral and loved the spring blossom. Free to enter.

Glasgow Cathedral is one of the iconic buildings to visit in Glasgow. Its breathtaking and majestic Gothic architecture is evident both inside and out. The intricate details of the cathedral reveal the rich history of this enduring structure. The cathedral is free to enter, but donations are recommended for the restoration and maintenance of the building. Please note that the last entry is at 4:15 p.m., so you’ll need a full hour to explore everything inside. There’s also plenty of information to read along the way.

Excellent car park right next to the walk. We got there at 9am and when we got back at 11.30 it was full. The walk to the falls is easy but we then did the full circular walk which is over 3 miles and took 2.5 hrs. This wasn't easy as a lot of uphill but stunning views and took is right round to the Scout pool too.

The street is full of all kinds of shops. There are some good souvernir shops along here. It does get very busy at the weekends, particularly during the late afternoon. There are places to eat along the street. The street is accessible to people who use a wheelchair.

If you’re into architecture, the University of Glasgow is a must-see. The main building is a stunning example of Gothic Revival style, and it genuinely feels like stepping into another era. From the pointed arches and intricate stone carvings to the massive spires that reach into the sky, it’s a place that grabs your attention from every angle. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century, the building looks more like a cathedral or a fantasy castle than a university. The level of detail is insane — every window, column, and corridor has a story. The cloisters (those arched walkways under the building) are especially beautiful, and they make the whole place feel peaceful and dramatic at the same time. What’s really cool is how the building blends history with everyday life. Students walk through these centuries-old halls daily, and yet it still feels fresh and full of life. It’s one of those rare places where the architecture isn’t just for show — it’s still being used and appreciated the way it was meant to be. Even if you’re not an architecture nerd, it’s impossible not to be impressed. Take a walk through, look up, and just enjoy being surrounded by some of the most beautiful stonework in the city.

Beautiful... We even enjoyed a free bagpipe and drum rehearsal! The park has lovely walks around it too. Please do visit and support this amazing place. It's free, but you can give a voluntary donation.

Excellent tour and our guide, Georgie, was fantastic. The pace of the tour was well balanced with informative highlights throughout. Very reasonably priced and the souvenir glass at the end is a very nice touch. All staff were very accommodating.

If you are looking for whisky that’s different from the usual stuff you get in the shops, then check out this distillery. You have 2 different options on the tour depending on how many different whiskies you want to try. It was amazing to see how the whisky is made, and all the staff are so friendly. Don’t forget to book your tour at least a couple of days in advance.

It was closed but great environment, skimmed stones by the shore. The jacobite passed on the bridge close to the castle

I watched the largest vessel move through the locks plus a couple of sailboats. The best “guides” here are the canal staff! They know exactly what’s going on, and they patiently explain it. It’s free, you just have to wait the next boat coming through.

I went here in January. The place was so beautiful. It was a wonderful experience and a nice walk to viaduct from the parking. There are multiple parking spots available. We had to walk for 15-20 minutes to reach near the pillars. There were no trains on the day I visited. But the weather was really good and we had a great time and wonderful experience.

If your travelling by Glenfinnan visitors centre this is a must see beautifully set by the loch. And also the viaduct stunning area. Staff are all friendly and welcoming.
