Situated amidst magnificent park and woodland, Callendar House tells stories spanning 600 years of Scottish history. Through wars, rebellions and the industrial revolution, the house has played host to many great historical figures over the centuries, including Mary, Queen of Scots, Cromwell and Bonnie Prince Charlie. The 1825 kitchen is the centrepiece of the House’s interactive experience, where visitors can sample authentic Georgian fare, listen to stories about life below stairs and watch kitchen staff go about their daily tasks. Permanent displays offer the opportunity to find out about the history of the House, the social history and industrial heritage of the Falkirk area, and the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site. A temporary exhibition gallery offers a changing programme of exhibitions throughout the year, and the 1850s library houses the Falkirk Council archive service.

Open all year:
Monday – Saturday: 10am-5pm
Sunday (Apr-Sept only): 2pm-5pm
Last admission: 4pm
