The Historic Choice: Stirling Castle
While Edinburgh is often too far for a comfortable cruise stop, Stirling Castle is a brilliant alternative and arguably more historically significant.
The Castle: Perched on a volcanic crag, was the childhood home of Mary Queen of Scots. Entwined in the development of Scotland as a nation, Stirling Castle played a pivotal role in the power politics and fortunes of Scotlands monarchs for centuries.
Tours, conducted by the professional guides within the castle, will give you the history of the castle as an early stronghold of the Stewart kings and queens, the castle's strategic position in the Scottish wars of independence and through the "Golden Age" of Scottish home rule.
The Wallace Monument: Dedicated to Sir William Wallace (Braveheart), offering a steep climb with rewarding views of the Forth Valley. Built in the 1860s to commemorate the life of Sir William Wallace the monument compliments the history of Stirling castle . With a museum housed over 4 floors you will learn of the life and trials of this Scottish noble man , a member of the lesser gentry , who fought and died in pursuit of an independent Scotland.
