About Dunmore

Dunmore is a tiny estate village near Airth, best known as the home of the Dunmore Pineapple — a remarkable 18th-century garden folly shaped like a giant pineapple, now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.

The Pineapple was built in 1761 as a garden retreat for the Earls of Dunmore, and its elaborate stonework makes it one of the most photographed architectural curiosities in Scotland.

The village itself is a handful of estate cottages set in quiet, wooded countryside on the edge of the Forth carseland, with no shop or pub of its own.

About Falkirk

Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.

The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.

Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.

Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
