Places to visit in Stirling

Put an undeniably beautiful, historic and tourist-friendly city at the crossroads of Scotland and visitors will come from far and wide.

Braveheart country, Stirling is home to the sites of Bannockburn and Stirling Bridge, bloody battles during Scotland’s Wars of Independence 700 years ago when Wallace and Bruce lead the nation to glory.

Other city centre gems include Argyll’s Lodgings – the most complete surviving example of a Scottish 17th-century townhouse; the Old Town Jail, built in the 1800s in an era of prison

reform to replace the notorious Tolbooth gaol – now a cutting edge arts centre; the Smith Art Gallery with many social history treasures.
