With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Falkirk, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be The Kelpies, The Helix and Falkirk Golf Club. Locals are also likely to point you toward Leven, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Elie Beach. (But we’d also recommend Leven Beach and Kingarrock Golf Course.)
