Lionthorn Woods

Highlight • Forest

Pretty private woodland on the edge of Falkirk with walking and cycling trails. The John Muir way runs through the woodlands here too (johnmuirway.org/). Well surfaced and great to explore year-round at zero cost.

Lionthorn Wood Park

Highlight • Natural

If you're looking for a pleasant and scenic spot to stretch your legs, you might want to consider Lionthorn Wood Park at Falkirk. This former coal mining site has been transformed into a lush green oasis, with walking and cycling paths, a beautiful burn, and a variety of wildlife. You can enjoy the views of the surrounding hills, admire the native woodland and meadow plants, or even sample some edible hedge fruits. The park is also part of the John Muir Pollinator Way, a project to create a network of habitats for bees and butterflies across Scotland.

Battle of Falkirk Muir Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The site of the battle on the south muir is today marked by an obelisk unveiled by the Duke of Atholl in 1927. It is a modest memorial of such a great encounter and a more chilling reminder of the battle can be found in the many eye witness accounts of the battle which survive. Among the most graphic was that of Chevalier Johnstone who was sent with a sergeant and twenty men to guard the captured cannons on the battlefield.

Only once more would British soil witness such carnage and that just three months later on Drumossie Moor at Culloden. On that day Lord Kilmarnock was taken, as the Jacobite cause perished. In August he was beheaded on Towerhill in London.
