Open all year [except Sundays in winter] and free to enter. The House has an excellent café.

Callendar House dates from the 14th century. It is set in the nationally-important historic designed landscape of Callendar Park, which also contains a section of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site.

The House's permanent displays are The Story of Callendar House, a history covering the 11th to the 19th centuries, The Antonine Wall, Rome's Northern Frontier, and Falkirk: Crucible of Revolution 1750-1850, tells how the local area was transformed during the first century of the industrial era.

In the restored 1825 Kitchen, costumed interpreters create an exciting interactive experience with samples of early-19th century food providing added taste to stories of working life in a large household.

Callendar House is a French chateau style stately home that was built in the 14th century. Set amid the beautiful grounds of Callendar Park, the estate has hosted many great historical figures over the centuries, including: Mary Queen of Scots, Oliver Cromwell and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

As well as going in and seeing the house, there is plenty to do within the grounds. Cafe, woodland walks, and a section of the Antonine wall. Free but limited parking, and children’s play area. There’s also a lot of wildlife, and longer walks to the kelpies or Falkirk wheel are possible.
