The town of Falkirk isn't often the first place that springs to mind when visitors are planning their itinerary. This is changing though thanks to the popularity of Andy Scott's stunning Kelpies. There is so much more things to do in Falkirk though so I want to shine the spotlight on them and show you that Falkirk and the surrounding towns and villages are definitely worth adding to your bucket list. 

Of course it makes it a whole lot easier that it's so easy to travel to. Situated between Edinburgh and Glasgow it's easily reached from both cities.

Mysterious places fascinate me. Places that aren’t well known and are off the beaten track.  If they happen to be linked with ancient customs, fairies, Celtic rituals or anything along those lines then even better.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good tourist attraction too but I like nothing better than grabbing the dog and taking off on the hunt to find a hidden gem.  Dunino Den,  in the East Neuk of Fife,  is exactly that.  It ticks all the boxes. Stunning location,  fascinating things to see which can’t always be explained,  hidden,  not well known and surrounded by rumours of druids and fairies.
