Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway

While through visiting the Falkirk wheel with my mum, we also went to the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway where we had a great time.

Takes you back for sure, and the volunteers were very helpful and made our day out all the more enjoyable.

This is another attraction that I would heartily recommend. A great trip out for the kids as well as mums and dads.
