Stirling Walking Tour
Stirling, United Kingdom
Why Walk Stirling
Stirling Castle, perched on a volcanic crag, controlled the lowest crossing point of the River Forth for centuries and witnessed pivotal moments in Scottish history. The castle's Renaissance palace, built for James V in the 1540s, has been meticulously restored. Below the castle, the Old Town descends through medieval wynds and closes. The National Wallace Monument on a nearby hilltop commemorates William Wallace's victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297.
