Falkirk car hire

Renting a car makes sightseeing a doddle - whether you choose to stay in the town or venture further into the Scottish Lowlands...

Reminders of Scotland's proud history and heritage are dotted among the picturesque landscapes that surround Falkirk. Drive to Blackness Castle, which stands tall and proud at the edge of the Firth of Forth. It takes around 25 minutes to reach the ancient site from Falkirk when you make use of your hire car. It's worth the drive to see this 15th century fortress, where commanding views of the water are rich rewards.

Dunmore Park is a 20-minute drive north of Falkirk. It might not sound remarkable, but when you see the elaborate summer house, which is topped by a giant pineapple, you'll understand why this is yet another iconic attraction of Falkirk.

The Falkirk sections of the Roman Antonine Wall are also worthy of your time. Built just a few years later than the more famous Hadrian's Wall to the south, little remains of the Antonine Wall, though what is there is clear to see. 

Of course, the pull of the big cities is hard to resist in Falkirk, as you're on the doorstep of two of the UK's most energetic, striking and vibrant destinations. Drive to Edinburgh in around 45 minutes to feel your way around the monumental history of this great city. Tread the cobbles of the Royal Mile, tour the castle and see the entire cityscape following an easy stroll to the pinnacle of Calton Hill. 

A 35-minute drive from Falkirk will deliver you into the lap of Glasgow, arguably a better shopping destination than the capital. Its museums, galleries and restaurants - where fresh seafood and innovative Scottish cuisine abound - also compete with those in Edinburgh. Decide for yourself which city gets your vote when you make use of car hire in Falkirk.
