Pirleyhill farm forms part of the Callendar estate, lying just to the south of the Antonine Wall and the Union Canal. The pasture fields, interspersed with remnant hedgerows, were some of the first in Scotland to be enclosed. The landholding also contains plantations, broadleaf woodlands and a network of trails. Walking these provides tantalising glimpses into the social history of the area when it lay at the cutting edge of Scotland’s industrial revolution.
