“Callendar House offers a changing program of modern visual art presentations, while the 2nd-floor exhibition explores various aspects of cultural heritage. The house lies along the line of the 2nd-century Antonine Wall, built by the Romans from the Firth of Clyde to the Firth of Forth. Callendar House has hosted several significant historical figures, including Mary, Queen of Scots, Oliver Cromwell and Bonnie Prince Charlie. The house brings history to life as you sample authentic Georgian food, hear stories of life below stairs, and watch the regular tasks performed by the kitchen staff. Free entry gives you insights into the lives of historical figures. There are stairs, lifts, and accessible toilets in the building. You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring the house and just as many in its beautiful gardens. Callendar House provides access to wheelchairs.

2025 Update: Callendar House is a mansion set within the grounds of Callendar Park. The house was redesigned and extended in the style of a French Renaissance château blended with elements of Scottish baronial architecture. The core of the building is a 14th-century tower house.”

THE PINEAPPLE

(4.9 Score)
Airth, Falkirk FK2 8LU, UK Directions

Since 1761

Speciality:

✓ Walled Garden ✓ Events ✓ House ✓ Heritage Site ✓ Cottage ✓ Historical Places ✓ Building ✓ Picnic Area and Architectural Structure

“The Pineapple has a hothouse, which was built into the wall by John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore. The Earl of Dunmore designed it as a summer house in 1761, where he could enjoy views from his farm. The Pineapple once featured several fruits and vegetables grown in its walled garden, vast glasshouses, and pineapple pits. Visitors have always been fascinated and inspired by the Pineapple's unique architecture and historical significance. The grounds are now a natural oasis, perfect for a quiet stroll around the former curling pond and surrounding woods. The Pineapple provides wheelchair access and free admission for visitors.

2025 Update: The Pineapple is a bizarre, pineapple-shaped building.”

CALLENDAR HOUSE REVIEWS

Greeted by friendly staff and directed to the place to start our visit. Interesting history of the house, Falkirk and the surrounding area as well as the nation. One of our group was in a wheelchair, pleased to say accessibility was superb throughout. Cafe served great coffee and home baking which was reasonably priced, again by friendly, attentive staff. Unfortunately, due to the rain we did not make it round the extensive grounds, something for another day. Highly recommended. Thanks to the staff.

It’s a bit daunting when you pass the high-rise buildings but it’s the right way, keep going until you reach the last car park at the end of the road. We spotted three car parks, so there’s plenty of room, and it’s free. As you walk towards the house there is an information board telling you where everything is. Not all the activities seemed to be in use and we didn’t get to see all of them anyway. There was a toilet block near what looked like a play centre in the grounds, we didn’t visit these. The house is free to enter, you pass through a gift shop to get in. Inside there is a walk through history of the house, the Outlander kitchen, Roman room, Gallery and a children’s activity room. Toilets are available and there is also a small lift. The tea room was excellent and very busy, and the pricing was reasonable. The visit was very interesting and educational, the grounds look perfect for a family picnic when it’s a nice day. We look forward to a return visit for a full day. It’s well worth a trip, loads to see and do.

We visited today expecting to just see the outside of the house and have a walk round the woods. We were pleasantly surprised to find that you could go inside, free of charge. There's loads of history, loads for kids to interact with and a tearoom which looked great.

THE PINEAPPLE REVIEWS

What a novel experience to stay within the famous Pineapple. Really is beautiful and striking, every morning was a pleasure to watch the sun illuminate the the structure. Having tea in the pavilion whilst looking over on to Dunmore estate is a treat. The interior has been kept true but with the convenience of modern heating, lighting and kitchen.

Followed the instructions from the National Trust for Scotland website to get to the pineapple. It's quite a long bumpy track to the car parking area, which has space for 6 or so cars. There's a beautiful walled garden and a short walk around the pond which has newts.

A very enjoyable visit on a beautiful day! Nice place to visit with a bit of history added. After you have enjoyed the pineapple you can go for a walk on the various paths or you can sit and have a picnic in the presence of the huge pineapple. Enjoy!

TOMB OF SIR JOHN DE GRAEME REVIEWS

What an honour to kneel at the tomb of such a great man. If you are interested in the history of Sir John the Graham, go and visit the site of his castle. There are only the groundwork’s remaining but the site is stunningly beautiful. Thank you for everything you did sir.

This sits in the church in the high street; I grew up not to far away from Falkirk but knew nothing about this and must have passed it hundreds of times not knowing how important the person laid to rest there is in scottish history. If you are going to visit Falkirk, it's well worth a visit, but read up on him and the other sites to visit around Falkirk. Also worth a visit to the society's shop in the high street by the steeple.

A fascinating piece of forgotten history within easy reach, this is the tomb of William Wallaces Knight Sir John De Graeme , the protective cage adds a lot to the charm to the church and this is frequently a spot used for occasions for reenactment and historical groups. Something of note that might not be as well known is that there is even a very active historical society based around the knight with links to other historical areas, well worth a look.
