Today we headed to the Kelpies which were amazing. https://motorhomelife.uk/2022/07/08/the-kelpies/
We then headed to this lovely harbour, free parking amazing views and a cafe right on the front open most days from 9 -5
Lovely walks around the harbour with views across to Edinburgh
We have been to Scotland a few times now and never visited the Kelpies, heard so many people say “you need to go” so decided we would..
Parking and entry was £6 with allocated parking area for Motorhome’s next to the coaches, you could stay until 10pm when the gates close ( July 2022 )
You can stay overnight at the first car park before you enter the main Kelpies car park for £7.50 per night with no services.
Lovely walk along the canal to where the Kelpies are situated
We stopped here to walk the waterfalls and visit the Old Mill, there is a large main car park that is quite uneven and 3 overflow car parks that are quite flat, you can either pay for 24hrs or 28days parking for cars or coaches, I paid for a coach @£5 but had to use the machine as my number plate on the app wanted to charge me £3 for cars.
I checked with the visitor centre that what i had done was ok and informed them i would like to stay over and they were very happy for me to do so. (we stayed in the flat overflow car park no2)
The Mill is amazing with so much to do including a cafe and lots of areas for kids to play.
Just adding a small addendum here: We found the actual buildings all dog Unfriendly, cafe, shops and most buildings were not accessible if you had a dog.
We walked upstream towards the hydro electric power plant through a fantastic riverside path that was very well maintained and laid out, the waterfalls were spectacular and that was without too much rain.
