Overview of your Edinburgh tour:

Allow me to show you around my home ground - Stirling and the surrounding area. What better way to explore this beautiful city at the heart of Scotland than with a local? The landscape is stunning and the heritage is rich, and I can help you really get to the essence of Stirling's stories, both past and present. Only a short drive from Edinburgh, Stirling played a strategic role in medieval times, with an unprecedented number of power plays and battles taking place in the vicinity. These include those fought by William Wallace and Robert Bruce, who fought to free Scotland from the ambitions of successive English rulers, as portrayed by Mel Gibson in Braveheart (1995) and Chris Pine in Outlaw King (2018). We'll visit Stirling Castle, with its incredible views of the Forth Valley, and tread in the footsteps of the Renaissance monarchs who made this impressive fortress their home. We will also visit the Bannockburn Visitor Centre, where you will can immerse yourself in its incredible 3D battle experience.

Your Edinburgh tour itinerary

- I will pick you up from your hotel or port and drive the scenic route to Stirling. We can choose to visit The Kelpies on the way there, or on the way back, depending on your timings and preferences. - We will begin our tour with a visit to Stirling Castle and the Old Town, perhaps having a wander around the historic graveyard at the 'Top of the Town', in which there are numerous fascinating gravestones with interesting symbols. - We will then drive over to the Wallace Monument for a photo stop, although if you do want to climb the 246 steps to the top, that can usually be accommodated! - We'll then head over to Bannockburn Visitor Centre, where you can choose to simply visit the site of the famous battle or experience it in the 3D interactive theatre. Feel free to contact me if you would like to customize this tour.
