What is there to see and do in the area?The Black Bull, Polmont is perfectly situated between Falkirk and Linlithgow and is a great place to stop for a bite to eat or a drink while travelling to one of the many attractions in both of these towns.Located in the town of Linlithgow is Linlithgow Palace. It is located just off the main street (off Kirk gate). The Palace is set in a park beside a loch. The Palace was the birth place of Mary Queen of Scots and is a magnificent 15th century Royal Fortress. If you enjoy walking and the outdoors visit Beecraigs Country Park only a short drive from the Polmont. In the neighbouring town of Falkirk, you will find some excellent shopping and also one of Scotland's newest tourist attractions. The Falkirk Wheel is the world's first and only rotating boat lift connecting the Forth & Clyde & Union canals. Calendar Park is an authentic Geogian mansion turned museum with large gardens including a children's play area, crazy golf and many woodland walks. If you are a planning a trip to Scotland's capital you will find there is lots to see and do. The city Centre is 40 minutes drive or a 15/20 minute train ride away. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city situated on top of an extinct volcano overlooking Princes Street and the Royal Mile. Near the End of the Royal Mile at Holyrood, you can now visit the controversial Scottish Parliament building. There are daily guided tours. If wild life is what you seek you will not be disappointed - visit Deep Sea World and Edinburgh Zoo for 2 great days out. Both are less than half an hours drive form Polmont. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding areas it is impossible to list them all! For more information on what to see and do in Edinburgh & the Lothians see:
