Known for
Stirling Castle (the finest royal palace in Scotland, where Mary Queen of Scots was crowned), the Wallace Monument (commemorating William Wallace), the Bannockburn battlefield (where Robert the Bruce defeated Edward II), and the gateway to the Highlands
A little history
Stirling has been the key strategic point in Scottish history — controlling the lowest crossing of the Forth. Stirling Castle was the favoured residence of the Scottish royal family. William Wallace defeated the English at Stirling Bridge in 1297; Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314. The Wallace Monument towers above the town.
Stirling Castle is genuinely magnificent — the Great Hall and the Royal Chapel are outstanding. The Wallace Monument for the dramatic hilltop view and William Wallace's broadsword. Bannockburn Heritage Centre for the 1314 battle. The Old Town for excellent independent food.
