Something fantastic is happening in the heart of Scotland.
A 300-hectare site of unused land between Falkirk and Grangemouth is to be transformed into the Helix, a superb, vibrant new parkland set to become an exciting international visitor attraction.
Whether it's walking or running, cycling or sailing or simply taking in the beautiful natural setting, the Helix promises something for everyone. Key development in phase one will include a dramatic central park, with its own enclosed lagoon, water play area and outdoor events space.
Boaters will be able to navigate a new canal link connecting Grangemouth and the Firth of Forth to Scotland's extensive canal network. The centrepiece of the new canal link will be the stunning Kelpies lock: two 30 metre high sculptures in the shape of horse's heads.
Other planned developments include pathways and cycle networks, a major public artwork and a range of community facilities. Locally produced gifts and souvenirs will also be available.
The Helix is scheduled for completion in spring 2013.
