Explore Stirling

Often called the "Gateway to the Highlands," Stirling occupies a strategic position between the Scottish Lowlands and the dramatic landscapes to the north. Its castle and battlefield are central to Scotland's national story.

Top 5 places to visit

1Stirling Castle

One of Scotland's most important castles, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, and the restored Great Hall with its magnificent hammerbeam roof. The views over the Forth Valley are exceptional.

2Wallace Monument

A Victorian Gothic tower on a crag above the city, honouring William Wallace. Climb the 246 steps for panoramic Highland views and see Wallace's original two-handed claymore sword.

3Bannockburn

The site of Robert the Bruce's famous 1314 victory, now an immersive heritage centre where visitors can experience the battle through cutting-edge interactive displays.

4The Old Town

Stirling's medieval old town climbs steeply up to the castle, with historic closes, the Church of the Holy Rude, and Argyll's Lodging — Scotland's finest Renaissance town house.

5Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Scotland's first national park begins just west of Stirling, with Loch Lomond easily accessible for stunning loch and mountain scenery, walking, and watersports.

Getting around Stirling: Stirling's key sites are spread across a steep hillside and outlying areas — a taxi between the castle, Wallace Monument, and Bannockburn saves considerable time and effort, especially for families.
