Grangemouth is located at the mouth of
the Firth of Forth Canal and has easily accessible motorway
links into Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as Stirling
and nearby Royal Burgh, Falkirk. The town can be seen
as innovative with its two business parks (Newlands Business
Park and Grangemouth Enterprise Centre) and also industrial
as it plays host to such business plants as the BP and
Avecia. However, these plants are situated far away from
the more populated areas of town!
Flowing through Grangemouth is the Grange Burn (which
gave it's name to our guest house!), which exits the
town and flows directly into the Firth of Forth (and
carrying on into the North Sea). Close by the Burn is
Grangemouth's Town Centre (developed by European Enterprise),
La Porte Precinct and twinned with La Porte, Indiana,
Indianapolis, USA. Full of attractive local, national
and also family run businesses, the town centre can
be seen to be bustling with life almost every week day,
especially on Saturdays! |

A five-minute walk from town can lead you to Zetland
Park. During the summer months, Zetland Park is the
perfect place to relax with a picnic or perhaps to allow
your children to play and make friends in the main body
of the park, including swings, 'Sahara Desert' adventure
area and zip line etc. The park also has its own boating
pond, refreshments kiosk and mini traffic (where kids
bicycles, go-karts and bouncy castle can be enjoyed!).
If however, you are the more sporty and energetic type,
Grangemouth Sports Complex. Complete with two indoor
swimming pools, badminton and squash courts, two gyms,
indoor football and other scheduled activities such
as Tae Kwon Do, yoga, swimming classes, Keep Fit, aerobics
and many more, this centre is perfect for keep fit and
remaining energetic in this laid back town!
Situated on Bo'ness Road next door to Grangemouth
Library, is Grangemouth Museum. Although small, this
museum has on display a rare selection photographs and
memorabilia etc from Grangemouths' earliest days. A
'must visit' if you are interested in delving deeper
into the history of the town that gave birth to the
first ever steam powered boat, the Charlotte Dundas! |

Finally, Grangemouth hosts two main events annually.
The first, taking place around mid June, is the Gala
or Children's Day. Here, a parade with selected schools
and clubs etc taking part, travels through Grangemouth
until it reaches Zetland Park where the Gala Day Queen
(elected from a particular primary school weeks before)
is crowned. The second is the Children's Festival, also
taking place in Zetland Park around the start to mid
July and hosted by Central FM, central Scotland - both
great family days out!
Grangeburn Guest House is centrally located only 20
minutes from Edinburgh Airport and 20 minutes from Stirling
Castle. We are also close to the Falkirk Wheel and many
other tourist attractions. |
