Visits are free of charge and are suitable for all ages, but if your mobility is limited the stairs might prove a problem.

You can book a visit through the website - falkirksteeple.com - and groups of up to 12 can request visits outwith these days if required.

Tours start on the hour from 10am and run until 3pm with the building closing at 4pm, unless you want to spend a night in the cells.

You can also drop in if you are passing.
