  • We leave Blair Drummond Caravan Site and park at the Falkirk Football Stadium. We go sightseeing in Falkirk and walk through The Helix before visiting The Kelpies. We then drive a further 6 miles to the Falkirk Wheel.

    Kelpies park looks nice for a stroll, the horses heads are stunning. The Falkirk wheel is a great bit of engineering on a huge scale. Thanks for taking us around 🙂

      It was a lovely day out Martin. Really enjoyed both. Thanks for watching 😁 Trev

    That horse sculpture was breathtaking! I agree with you that everything is beautiful 💞 It's amazing how small y'all looked compared with the Kelpies! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us ☺💞

    Glad you had a nice quiet day for it Trev. Nice to see the Kelpies close up and from a different angle from the M9 and i usually see them in the dark. But they change the colours of them daily. Definitely going to take the family there now 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. We have done the Falkirk wheel 👍a great bit off engineering . Must get a trip on it one day that would be different .
    Thanks for sharing Alan

      Thanks Alan. Kelpies were on Sue’s wish list and I was determined for her to see them. We were so lucky with the sunshine too. Thanks for your comments 👍🏻😉 Trev

    The Kelpies are amazing, aren’t they? We were there last year and thought they were magnificent! We didn’t get to see however the Falkirk Wheel, so it’s nice to see your filming of it! Will definitely see it the next time we’re up there! Thanks for sharing😎👍

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      Thank you, the wheel is worth a look. We spent a good 2 or 3 hours there just chilling with coffee and cake in the cafe. The engineering is staggering on both projects though 😁 Thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      They were fabulous up close. The pictures only start to show the size and shape but up close they have a very special something 😁 Thanks again for watching 😁 Trev x

      Loads of space for Poppy to have fun. The visitor centre is not dog friendly but we had a lovely day so walking and sitting on the park was beautiful 🙂 Thanks for watching 😄👍🏻 Trev

    Another great video, and perfect sightseeing weather at last! We stopped in the exact same place to see the Wheel, but all car parks were full at the Kelpies, so that's still on our to-do list. We were also there late September and the weekend weather was unusually fabulous 😎🍦😎... so most of Falkirk seemed to be out in the park that day - it was absolutely heaving! Really enjoyed, and would definitely recommend, a visit to the wheel. 😊

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      Thanks for your lovely comments they really mean a lot to us and make CZcams worthwhile. We would like to see the Kelpies in the dark so watch this space we have a plan 👍🏻😁😁 Trev

  • @johnvickers5750
    @johnvickers5750 Před 4 lety

    We loved the Kelpies when we visited & on another trip we visited the Falkirk lift but it was so crowded we didn't stop for long.

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      We were so lucky John, neither were particularly busy so we got a good look around. Thanks for supporting us. 😁👍🏻 Trev n Sue

    @gallivantinggalantes Před 4 lety

    Hi Trev And Sue, great video, wow the Kelpies are really life like. Nice that they are by the canal so you can view the narrow boats as well. The Falkirk wheel is an amazing structure , only ever seen it in action on the tv. Thank you for filming it. Did you go on a boat trip? I wonder whether you had a coffee and may be some cake to finish off the visit. I know I would have to. Looking forward to your next video, thank you x

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      julie yes we had coffee and Scottish Shortbread next to the canal and the Kelpies but I don’t always film us eating or you may think that’s all we do 😂😂😂 watch out for another Kelpies visit in December after dark 👍🏻 Trev

      Youve shamed me into going for a visit the next time I’m there. My home town and I’ve never been to either the Kelpies or Wheel.

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety

      Haha... we enjoyed your town thank you. There were a lot of folks, mostly tourists like us, spending their money and having a lovely day. Nothing we didn’t like about Falkirk, very friendly place 😊 Trev

    What's the story behind the Kelpies?

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  Před 4 lety +1

      The horses represent the working heavy horses used on the canals in Scotland in the late 18th and early 19th century. The enormous sculptures are a symbol of the drive to regenerate the industrial areas attracting visitors from all over the world. That’s what I remember from the visitor centre I think 😊 Trev
