This 17th-century steeple is a prominent landmark in Falkirk's historic town centre, offering stunning views of the surrounding area from its top platform. The adjacent heritage centre showcases the history and heritage of Falkirk, with exhibits on the town's industrial and cultural past, as well as its people and traditions. Visitors can explore the steeple's intricate stonework and climb to the top for panoramic views of the town and its surroundings.
First visit inside the Steeple. Interesting to hear from both volunteer guides history about it being a prison. Round staircase to the first floor for the men, the continued up to the second floor for women, top floor only had a peek as not open to the public. Great to hear from the guide his family history linking story told about a woman prisoner!
If you are looking to learn about the history of Falkirk and it's Steeple then pop in on Tuesday's and Saturday's for a free tour. Funny and nice tour guides. Totally enjoyed the tour. Lots of pictures with details on the wall in the reception to help you flow with the tour stories.
Not sure why Google have asked me to review this, as my visit was really just walking past it to get to a shop, but on that premise, the steeple in Falkirk is perfect for walking past, i was able to walk along the street beside it with no issues what so ever, the ground around the steeple is well paved, making walking past it very easy indeed, there are no restrictions in the area and you can walk past the Steeple in a variety of directions, for the more adventurous walker there is also the option of walking along the lane at the north side of the steeple and 30 feet later you can be in Wooer street, which is also really good for walking past stuff. I think that pretty much covers walking past Falkirk Steeple, and if you choose to make this a stop over on your visit to the area, i hope you also enjoy walking past the steeple too. But on a more visitor friendly note, the steeple does have an interesting historical story behind it and some visitors may want to do a bit of research into it.
What a great experience seeing inside the Steeple! The guides are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic which makes the visit so worthwhile. Highly recommended to see a glimpse of Falkirk's rich past!
This Historic Steeple is an enduring symbol of the town Its has been used as a jail and a tourist info Office as well as Town Box Office for the Town hall There has been a steeple on this site for hundreds of years It has recently underwent a refurbishment and is looking better than ever ...
Amazing to learn a bit of Falkirks history and to see inside. It will be nice to see this place when it's available for the public to see outwith an open doors event.
