The Best Landmark in Falkirk

Callendar House offers a free opportunity for an excellent educational family visit with a museum set over 3 floors. The house also has a fantastic Tea Room, which offers a super selection of home baked cakes and scones and a varied lunch menu too. Callendar House is open each day from 10am till 5.00pm except Tuesdays when the house is closed. The house has 600 years of history to explore and a visit to the working Georgian Kitchen is everyone’s lasting memory. It was also used in the filming.

The Pineapple is a truly unusual and spectacular place to spend a few days. Let’s face it, not many of can say that we’ve had dinner inside an enormous stone pineapple! The Landmark Trust own the building and it’s available for short-stay holiday lets. We were told it was built by a Lord Dunmore, a former Governor of Virginia, a place where pineapples are associated with hospitality, and sailors returning home would put a pineapple or two on their gateposts to tell everyone they were back.

We've been to Falkirk Town Hall 3 times now - once to give blood, once for a show, and once for a concert. It's a great community venue and has a wide range of uses. The reception area is very small however so if it's a busy show get there early to avoid the rush.
