The city of Robert the Bruce, the home of kings and queens alike, and the gateway to the highlands. Join us to explore the city of Stirling.

Stirling Old Town Tour

We'll meet at 11 am outside the VisitScotland iCentre in Stirling ready to start our tour of the old town.

Our first stop will be at the famous Stirling Castle, a significant fortress in Scotland with a rich history. Many Scottish monarchs, including Mary Queen of Scots, have lived and defended Scotland within its walls.

Next, we'll visit the Holy Rude Church, where King James VI was crowned King of Scots in 1567. We will then explore Stirling Cemetery, discovering notable figures from the city's past that shaped its history.

Afterward, we will visit the Stirling Old Town Jail. In 1847, the old Tolbooth Jail became overcrowded and was deemed the worst prison in Britain. It was reformed into the Stirling Old Town Jail, where you can learn about the conditions of imprisonment. We will explore additional significant sites in Stirling, but you will need to join us to learn more about this fascinating city.

Finally, after one and a half hours of exploring, we'll conclude the tour.
