Stirling, the Gateway to the Highlands. Enjoy beautiful scenery all you around you. Rich in history and heritage, with extensive shopping, entertainment, sport and Leisure facilities. Within easy reach of the Trossachs and the new National Park at Loch Lomond.
The recently designated 'City of Stirling', has some of the most popular visitor attractions in the country.
Stirling Castle was the favourite Royal residence for many of the Stuart Monarchs. Mary Queen of Scots spent her childhood in the castle and her coronation took place in the Chapel Royal in 1543.
See interactive historical displays, the Regimental Museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, the recently restored Palace, the Chapel Royal and the Great Hall. Witness the sights and smells of the 16th Century Kitchens. Visit Argyll's Lodging and the Old Town and you will easily spend an entire day here.
The Wallace Monument commemorates Sir William Wallace, Scotland's greatest freedom fighter. 246 steps take you to the top of the tower for panoramic views over Stirling and the Forth Valley. This Gothic tower sits proudly on the Abbey Craig. From this rocky crag, Wallace watched the English army gather before the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
Visit Bannockburn Heritage Centre. Robert the Bruce defeated King Edward II's army here in 1314. Scotland achieved the independence William Wallace had fought for and Bruce became the undisputed King of Scotland. The Kingdom of the Scots exhibition brings the Wars of Independence to life.
Stirling is only a few miles from historic Doune and Dunblane and the Victorian spa of Bridge of Allan. You can travel to Glasgow in 30 minutes or to Edinburgh in 50 minutes. With an extensive selection of hotels, guesthouses, bed and breakfast and Self-Catering accommodation, Stirling is the ideal destination for a weekend visit or for a longer stay. Population 42,000
