Falkirk In the central lowlands of Scotland is the historical county of Falkirk (pronounced Fawkirk) where the legendary William Wallace fought, however lost, in this battle. Gaelic north-eastern Falkirk emerged in the time of the Industrial Revolution when it once served as the country's busiest railway line. Modern wonders such as the Falkirk Wheel is an inspirational and functional sculpture made to rotate boat lifts. Travelers can see both new and old Falkirk. Visit the Callendar House, a castle from the 1400's and debate whether it should stand in central France or central Scotland. Or stroll through Helix Park where two 30-meter horse head sculptures honors the horse heritage of the country. |
