Begin the day in the Lothians at the National Museum of Flight in East Fortune, where you can find out about the role of the area in both World Wars and see the amazing Concorde. Explore the four aircraft hangars which detail the history and progress of aviation with military and civilian planes.

Spend an afternoon exploring magnificent Linlithgow Palace and admire the stunning architecture - see how many of the statues you can find dotted around the palace. Be sure to take a wander along the beautiful peel, the parkland around Linlithgow Loch that surrounds the palace, and spend some time feeding the birds. Take part in some of the fantastic ranger-led events throughout the year such as teddy bears picnics, themed walks and festive activities.

Finish the day at Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow which has 913 acres of land to explore where you can try a range of outdoor activities such as archery, climbing or windsurfing. You can also enjoy the Go Ape adventure attraction and climb to the top of the nets and down the zip wires.
