FALKIRK GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

A booked look at Lowland whisky production / NEAR FALKIRK

Falkirk Distillery

Arrange a guided visit to this working distillery outside central Falkirk, where the focus is the production process and the whisky made on site. Make it a deliberate outing with transport settled first, rather than an assumed town-centre walk-in stop. The standard tour offers a different scale and subject from the canal landmarks, particularly for adults interested in how things are made.
