The first stop of the day is at the famous site of The Kelpies. Get taken back by the modern day example of genius design and modern ingenuity as these 30m-high horse head sculptures blow you away. These famous landmarks stand tall for the amazing history and heritage of working horses pulling barges on the canal.

Next, you will get the chance to explore Helix Park situated right next to The Kelpies. Take a walk through the beautiful park and admire the majestic horses from a different angle.

From here, it’s a short drive to The Falkirk Wheel. Built to celebrate the millennium and restore the link between two of Scotland’s major canals, this unique structure can raise boats up 24m. While you’re taking it all in, have a look around the detailed exhibition and visitor centre. 

Leave the car at home as your transport is already taken care of by Rabbies Tours who will provide you with a comfortable 16 seat Mercedes mini-coach, fitted with refreshing air conditioning. Once you set off, sit back, relax and enjoy the stories and services bought to you by your very own Rabbies Driver-Guide.
