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!
