Glasgow is a city rich in culture, history, and stunning architecture. Known for its vibrant arts scene, iconic Victorian and art nouveau buildings, and friendly locals, Glasgow offers an unforgettable experience. Although there are no hot air balloon launch sites within the city, the nearby launch site in Biggar, South Lanarkshire, offers an extraordinary airborne adventure just a short drive away.
Take off from Biggar, almost equidistant from Glasgow and Edinburgh, for an aerial journey over some of Scotland's most historical and picturesque landscapes.

Whether the wind takes you over the battlefield of Langside or the serene Upper Tweedle, a Biggar hot air balloon ride promises a flight filled with history and breathtaking views.
