On the other side of the River Forth is the impressive town of Falkirk and Callendar House dating back to Mary, Queen of Scots where costumed servants bring an 1820's working kitchen to life.


Blackness Castle is also on the River Forth - it has been an artillery fortress, a royal castle, a prison, an armaments depot and film location for Hamlet and Ivanhoe.
