Local Area Information

There are lots of local attractions.  We have our own small Cambuskenneth Abbey site in the village, which is literally around the corner, together with Stirling Castle and The National Wallace Monument.  These can be viewed from the end of the street and are within walking distance, or only a short drive away.

There is a city cycle station situated approximately half a mile away at the end of Causewayhead Road, for public use.

Stirling has great pubs, restaurants and shops, with the nearby former spa town of Bridge of Allan for interesting shops and eateries, or you may wish to have a drive to the towns of Callander and Aberfoyle, or to Loch Lomond.

Fly or trout fishing days can be arranged on the Lake of Menteith where Inchmahome Priory is also situated, set on the island and reached by a short boat ride.

A visit to Stirling Castle is a must, with Doune Castle also not far away, where filming of Outlander, Game of Thrones and Monty Python's Holy Grail took place.  The Bannockburn Visitor Centre may be the place to visit for an interest in Robert the Bruce.

Many golf courses surround the area, Stirling being the nearest for non-members.  Gleneagles is only a 30 minute drive away, with St. Andrews 1hr 30mins.

Only 20 minutes away by car is the Blair Drummond Safari Park which is a brilliant day out, for not only children but adults too.

Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily accessible by train from Stirling Station, only a 15 minute walk away.
