The Pineapple is beautiful architecture, the grounds are relaxing, and the walks on the grounds are great. Plus the scenery of the mountains is breath taking More

This is a lovely place just to walk round, but is also a holiday let (National Trust for Scotland). On 'Doors Open Day' (sometime in September) this is one of the many places in the area that is open to the public view. Worth going just for the photo opp. More

Situated just outside the village of Airth near Falkirk. Free entry to grounds to view this unusual structure built in shape of a giant stone pineapple over a century ago when an attempt was made to grow pineapples in greenhouses (no longer there) by the landlord. Give yourself 1/2 hour for visit. When I have taken foreigh visitors to tourist... More

Nothing to it - apart from peace, quiet & an amazing bit of architecture. Good Birdwatching in the vicinity too. More

never could understand what this was all about, but the fact isthat it is a magnicant piece of architecture. It is as it says, a pinapple shaped building that was commissioned by someone that had too much cash. Well worth a visit though. More

A totally unique piece of architecture; in boring grey concrete. However it is still worth a visit and of course it can be rented for that special event as the accommodation is splendid,and just that wee bit different. More

I came across a description of this item while on a visit to Scotland. I really knew nothing about it and when I arrived was amazed by the size and detail of this piece. I certainly would not cross the country to see it but if one was in the area it is well worth a visit. More
