If you’re in Edinburgh, a trip to Stirling is the thing to do
Your local guide and driver picks you up at your Edinburgh hotel for the one-hour drive to Stirling — the historic gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Stirling’s position at the key crossing point of the River Forth made it one of the most strategically important places in Scottish history. Whoever controlled Stirling controlled Scotland.

Stop 1
Stirling Castle — plots, passion & royal intrigue
Cross the threshold into the Castle’s Royal Palace and enter a world of costumed performers, royal apartments, and centuries of Scottish history. A new exhibition focuses on the Castle’s fascinating archaeology including the mysterious Stirling Skeletons.
Highlights include the magnificent Great Hall, the Chapel Royal, the Regimental Museum, the medieval great kitchens, and a working tapestry studio recreating the extraordinary Hunt of the Unicorn series.
Stop 2
The National Wallace Monument — Freedom!
The most iconic landmark in Stirling overlooks the very ground where William Wallace won his greatest victory — the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. Inside the monument you’ll ascend through three extraordinary floors: the Hall of Arms with its illuminated battle map, the Hall of Heroes with the legendary Wallace Sword, and the Royal Chamber telling the story of this Victorian masterpiece.
Then climb to The Crown at the very top. The view will take your breath away — from Ben Lomond and the Trossachs in the west, across the Forth Valley, past Stirling and the Ochil Hills, all the way to the Pentland Hills in the east.
“When you reach The Crown, the view will take your breath away — one of the finest sights Scotland has to offer.”
