Kincardine Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Kincardine Bridge is in the “Kingdom of Fife”, Central East Scotland. NCN76 meanders through the township among amazing old Mill houses...amazing architecture. You end up at the bridge. The path is not wide, but good enough to enjoy ride across the bridge with great views. If another cyclist comes the opposite way, it may be courteous to pull over and let them through. There are views to the east to Grangemouth and to the west to the amazing Ochils (Hillfoots) and Stirling. Depending on the time of year, you will see the snow capped hills. (If they were called mountains, everyone would be talking about them and visit). Well worth a visit. While you are there, it is worth crossing the Clackmannanshire Bridge...it is right next to Kincardine Bridge. Enjoy!

The Kelpies Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

The Kelpies are 30-metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.

The sculptures opened to the public in April 2014. As part of the project, they will have their own visitor centre, and sit beside a newly developed canal turning pool and extension. This canal extension reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Forth, and improves navigation between the East and West of Scotland.
