The Ultimate E-Bike Tour of Stirling: The Way to See More｜United Kingdom

It has been said throughout history that he who holds Stirling, holds Scotland and this explains its ancient and rich historical importance.


Set to the backdrop of the stunning Ochil mountains the city and surrounding areas were the setting for the most tumultuous period in Scotland’s history when it fought for its freedom from tyrannical English rule. Those wars of independence, in the 1200s and 1300s, have long been the inspiration behind many works of film and literature.



By using one of Scotland’s finest inventions, the pedal bicycle (Kirkpatrick Macmillan 1839), we can travel through the history and stunning landscape of this ancient capital of Scotland. We will visit such sights as Cambuskenneth Abbey, The Wallace Monument, The University of Stirling, Old Stirling Bridge, Kings Knot, The Church of Holy Rude, The Old Town Cemetery, Mar's Wark and, of course, Stirling Castle!

We will discuss ancient folklore, local heroes, triumphs, tragedies, art, sport, invention and science, getting to know each other as well as the city and country that surrounds us.


This route begins at Stirling Train Station and is around 11 miles/18km long and does involve some steep and prolonged inclines. Thankfully, we have the option of e-bikes to make these hills a breeze. If you really want a challenge I do have standard bikes available but for those who are not strong, day-to-day cyclists, I recommend the use of an e-bike. You can choose when to use the assistance :)



You will be provided with a well-equipped, experienced, qualified guide (myself, Stuart), the bike of your choice, either e-bike or standard and in the size that is most comfortable to you. Helmets will also be provided for your added safety. I will also take photographs, if you wish, which can be shared with you at the end so you will have a souvenir of your wonderful experience.



We can also tailor the finish point for your needs. If you wish to finish at the castle for your visit there we can easily do so, just discuss it with me beforehand or even at the time.
