Grass Pitch C (3 at Pillars of Hercules)
UK Scotland East Scotland Fife Pillars of Hercules
Camping pitch, north side. Max 6 people per pitch
The Owner Says
Set on our Bankings Field, our campsite has a total of 17 pitches, each with their own fire pit. This pitch is on the northern edge of the field with views across the campsite towards Falkland Hill in the south. A short walk takes campers to our organic farm shop and cafe where day-to-day, and some more indulgent, food drinks and camping goodies can be purchased. Our toilets, showers and campers washhouse are located next to the shop and cafe. With ample parking at the venue, we ask campers to keep vehicles off the field as much as possible - in dry weather, cars can drop off gear and return to the car park; in wet weather wheelbarrows (available at the campers car park) can be used to transport all your items to your pitch.

Nearby
Pillars of Hercules is a small organic business that has grown gradually over 40 years. Located on the historical site of Falkland Estate, where Mary Queen of Scots fell in love with falconry, there are over 27km of paths through woodlands and past acres of farmland. The views from the top of East Lomond to Edinburgh to the south, and Dundee in the north, are worth the short (but relatively steep!) climb. Neighbouring West Lomond is do-able on the same day as East Lomond for those more adventurous and energetic walkers.For a more gentle - but equally rewarding walk - heading through woods via the Squirrel Trail (and yes, it is home to many red squirrels so keep your eyes peeled), visitors can head in to Falkland Village. Falkland, Scotland's first conservation village, is an incredibly quaint and interesting village. Packed with history including Falkland Palace (which is well worth a visit - see NTS website for seasonal opening), craft shops, pubs, cafes, the village bakery, deli, and (for any Outlander fans) the fountain and window from the famous scene with Claire and Jamie!
