One of Bo'mains special attractions is the magnificent experience of anything from 1 hour to 1 day's drive in the luxurious comfort of a chauffeur driven American Stretch Limousine.
Bo’mains is the centre of attraction being in the heart of Scotland which is near
to the gateway to the highlands. We are fortunate enough to be close to the Bo'ness
& Kinneil Railway which
runs trains to the Birkhill Clay Mine. There is also a new Motor Museum in Bo’ness.
Following the tourism trail, heading west from Bo’mains is
the dry ski slope at Polmont which is adjacent to the Grangemouth Golf Course, then onto the Falkirk
Wheel, the
only wheel of its kind in the world. At the wheel, canal cruisers are on hire on a daily or weekly basis.
Falkirk is also home to a wide variety of local and national shops and there is also a new multi-screen cinema
and a modern leisure complex. Heading further west to Stirling, the site of the famous battle of Bannockburn,
Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument and the infamous Stirling jail and a wonderful shopping centre. Westwards
again to Callander and the Trossachs described as Scotland in miniature, then onto Oban where ferries sail to the
Isles. It is possible to drive from Bo’mains and return in the same day.
Adjacent to the farmlands to the east is the 18 hole West Lothian Golf Club overlooking the historic burgh of
Linlithgow, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots and the sites of
Linlithgow Palace and the ancient St
Michael's
Church, considered by many as the finest parish church in Scotland.
In the vicinity we do have a golf range at Kingsfield
with 24 floodlit driving bays, professional tuition available,
and tee caddy coffee shop. Also in the town is the Union Canal with
its boat trips, museum and tearoom. Carrying on east from Linlithgow on the A904 is the
House of
Binns, and a
few miles further on is the magnificent Hopetoun
House. Continue
to South Queensferry where there are two bridges,
the 40 year old suspension road bridge and the world famous Forth
Rail Bridge (1890) still carrying trains to this day.
On the North side of the road bridge is the port of Rosyth where a
ferry crosses on a daily basis to Zebrugge in Belgium.
Nestling under the pier of the rail bridge is the aquatic marine centre of Deep Sea World.
Following the tourist train along the north bank of the River Forth, the road meanders through many picturesque
fishing villages, until eventually arriving at St
Andrews, home of Golf and site of the oldest university in
Scotland and ancient ecclesiastical centre of Scotland.
In the area surrounding Bo’mains there is an abundance of golf courses including the
world famous Kings Course
at Gleneagles also Muirfield, Dalmahoy and Gullane.
Bo’mains is midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. In Glasgow there is the
Burrell
Collection, Glasgow
Cathedral,
the Glasgow School of Art famed for its Rennie Mackintosh collection and the Victorian beauty of many buildings.
Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, is dominated by the majestic castle, home of the
military tattoo held annually in
August. Amongst its many attractions are the world famous
Royal Mile which runs down to the Palace of Holyrood
and the site of the new Scottish
Parliament. Further attractions include Dynamic
Earth, Museum of
Childhood, the
unique Princess Street
gardens, art galleries too numerous to mention and the Royal Yacht Britannia moored at the
Ocean Terminal.
Edinburgh is renowned for having in August the Edinburgh Festival and the
Fringe
Festival, when the city becomes
the Cultural capital of Europe. |
