Jump on a train with your guide in the city centre of Edinburgh and enjoy a 1h15 train ride before reaching the quaint town of Stirling. In Stirling, you'll discover a town at the heart of the Scottish Wars of Independence. Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, James IV, Mary Stuart, these Scottish Monarch changed the face of the United Kingdom and all of them used Stirling as a stronghold.

Tour Highlights:

• Stirling Old Town: Visit Stirling’s Old Town, from its Tolbooth & Mercat Cross to the outer fortifications of the city centre.

• Holy Rude Church & Stirling graveyard: Visit one of Scotland’s Oldest churches and learn about the dark stories in its graveyard, from body snatchers to ghosts

• Views of the Wallace Monument: Stirling is nicknamed the "Gateway to the Highlands". Enjoy beautiful views of Stuc a'Chroin and Vorlich and the Scottish Highlands. Admire the Wallace Monument built in honor of William Wallace, whose real history may have been quite different to the Scottish hero depicted by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

• Stirling Castle: From its fortifications where the canons of the English hammered at Scotland’s independence, to under the ceiling of the Great Hall where fantastical meals were being hosted (have you ever thought of using an entire boat as a plate?), Stirling Castle truly showcases Scotland’s Royal power. Find out about how a Castle of this size would have worked. Visit the private bedrooms and state halls of the Monarchs, and learn about the tales of treason hidden behind the beautifully preserved furniture.
