Biggar (South Lanarkshire)

Situated in South Lanarkshire, Biggar sits between Glasgow and Edinburgh making it an easily accessible launch site.

Biggar itself is an historic market town with many buildings dating back to the 16th century still standing. With independent shops and cafes, it's well worth a visit when you are in the area.

Your hot air balloon ride will launch from Bowmuir Farm outside of Biggar giving you the chance to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside as you drift skywards on your aerial adventure.
If history is of particular interest to you, there are some historical gems to keep an eye out for. You could see the famous site of the Battle Of Biggar, which took place in 1297 and resulted in William Wallace defeating the English army, commanded by Edward. There is also the church of St Mary, built in 1546 and where the ancestors of the politician, William Gladstone are buried.

Who knows which way the wind will blow on the day but you can be sure that your balloon ride will be a magical experience you'll remember for a lifetime.
