Soon after, we will be visiting Stirling Castle that provides awesome views over the Forth Valley and the historic battlefields. Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most historic sites, which was home to the Stewart kings and queens throughout the centuries. Highlights include the Great Hall, Chapel Royal, The Regimental Museum, Great Kitchens, Tapestry Studio and the Queens Palace, which your guide will be happy to take you through. You can also enjoy a lunch at the Unicorn Café, which offers a range of hot and cold drinks and food.

Our next visit will take us to the Bannockburn Visitor Centre where we will learn about the famous battle where Robert the Bruce raised his standard in 1314 and gathered his men to take on the might of the English army led by King Edward II. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with medieval warriors whilst learning about the tactics of the two opposing kings in a truly immersive experience. Witness the sights and sounds of medieval battle first-hand including ancient battle strategies, weapons and armour. Each tour culminates in a visit to the Battle Room. Here, you will witness Bruce's decisive victory against all odds before taken the opportunity to recreate the Battle of Bannockburn and take command of the virtual battlefield. After your tour, we will take the short journey back to your accommodation.

Walk on the old Stirling Bridge and learn about how the battle took place way back in 1297.

One of Stirling's hidden gems with a huge historical importance. This is where Robert the Bruce held his first parliament after the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Legend has it that a part of Sir William Wallace is buried within the grounds of the old abbey.
