Rottenstocks Farmhouse and Steading is situated in an elevated position in the midst of attractive countryside. It is within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow thereby making commuting a realistic prospect. Transport links include the motorway network, mainline railway stations and the airport at Edinburgh which has regular flights to numerous destinations both domestic and international.

Falkirk has a good range of facilities including a shopping centre, schools, hospital and the renowned “Falkirk Wheel”.

 

DIRECTIONS

From the M9 follow the signs to Falkirk town centre. Once in the town follow the signs for Slamannan eventually turning right at traffic lights into Slamannan Road. Follow the road to the edge of the town, continue on the B803 for approximately 1½ miles and the entrance to the property is on the left just before the top of a hill.
