About Us
The Scotland’s Heartland project is a joint promotional campaign led by a number of forward-looking tourism businesses in the Linlithgow and Falkirk areas. Our aim is to attract new people to the area and to offer an enhanced experience to them by bringing together high quality hotel accommodation with a range of unique leisure attractions and activities, all within no more than 30 minutes from Edinburgh Airport.
It is our aspiration to extend the offer further in coming years and to embrace other high quality attractions, activities and accommodation. Please watch this space!
