Something fantastic is happening in central Scotland! Land between Grangemouth and Falkirk is being transformed into the Helix.
Discover the Helix here.
New paths are being constructed all across the Helix, in Helix South, Helix North, and Central Park - discover where the Helix could take you.
Demand for allotments is growing throughout Scotland and the Falkirk area is no exception. Our new project will create allotments in the Helix South area, which will be managed with the support of the Falkirk Allotment Society.
The Helix is a place to relax and enjoy, a place to explore, but it is also a unique opportunity for local businesses to develop and grow as the site becomes busier over the coming years.

Senior pupils at Braes High School have been busy designing and developing novel retail products for potential sale by the Helix from summer 2013. Read about their afternoon presenting to our very own Dragon's Den.
A number of Helix products will be developed in collaboration with landowners, businesses, community groups and individual artists, artisans and craft workers.
There are opportunities for local artists, artisans and crafts producers to create products reflecting a new cultural confidence inspired by the Helix.
Suitable products may receive Helix endorsement and the offer of promotional support.
We're also investigating the possibility of locally designed and manufactured products being sold on site. Visitors tend to seek out that unique or unusual gift as a memento of their visit. There may be an opportunity to establish a regular arts and crafts market within the Helix site, too. This will be a fantastic opportunity for local producers to promote their wares.
Helix Honey could become one of our Helix products. Find out more about how our Beekeeping project is developing within the local community.
