CALLENDAR HOUSE REVIEWS
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.
Absolutely awesome museum, the house is beautiful outside and so interesting inside. It's a good place to visit even with kids, as they have lots of models, displays, and even interactive activities! The house itself has a great deal of history and everything is thorough and well explained. We were amazed this was for free.
Nice place, with treasure for nearly everyone in the house. The kitchen is packed with object that we used in 1900s or before, some may worth more than anyone's imagine. For example, the Chinese tea brick could be worth more than £500.00 if it is from 1950s.

The Pineapple is nestled within a serene walled garden adorned with a splendid array of flowers and plants characteristic of a rural estate. It was originally conceived by the Earl of Dunmore in 1761 as a summer retreat, allowing him to relish the scenic views from his farm. The construction, including a hothouse, was skillfully integrated into the garden wall by the 4th Earl of Dunmore, John Murray. Inside The Pineapple, you'll find various fruits and vegetables once cultivated within the walled garden, thriving in the expansive glasshouses and pineapple pits. Throughout its history, The Pineapple has consistently captivated and inspired its visitors. The surrounding grounds have been transformed into a natural sanctuary, inviting you to enjoy a peaceful walk around the former curling pond and the encircling woods. Admission to The Pineapple is offered free of charge for visitors.

FALKIRK TOWN HALL REVIEWS
Fabulous afternoon watching an amateur production of "Sunshine on Leith" with an immensely talented local cast who performed exceedingly well in this great venu. FTH theatre not only provides a venue for local drama groups but also hosts comedians, ballet panto and numerous other cultural experiences for not only the local community but also brings in people who then boost our local economy.
The Town Hall is a very good venue, the acoustics were very good, and the seating was excellent, my wife and I were there to see Walk like a man and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Been to the panto two years in a row and I plan to book for the next one. Such good family fun and comedy that knows the right amount of boundary-pushing.
