At the indicated time, we will meet next to Advocates Close. From there, we'll take a short walk to Waverley Station, where we'll catch the train to Stirling, one of Scotland's historic gems. The trip takes about 50 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time to enjoy the scenery.
Upon arrival, we'll welcome you to what was the most important city in medieval Scotland, a key setting in the Wars of Independence. We'll stroll through its beautiful historic center while learning about the events that shaped the country's destiny.
During the visit, we'll admire iconic places such as the old prison, the Church of Holy Rude, the Mercat Cross, and the remains of its walls. It will be a tour full of stories and interesting facts that will take you back in time.
Before continuing, you'll have some free time to have lunch, relax, or discover the local cuisine on your own.
We'll then head to the spectacular Stirling Castle, where we'll spend about an hour and a half exploring its rooms, courtyards, and panoramic views. There, we'll learn the fascinating stories of Robert the Bruce, Mary Stuart, and James IV, key figures in the history of the kingdom.
After about six hours of the excursion, we'll return together to Edinburgh and end the sightseeing tour at Waverley Station.
If you prefer, you'll also have the option of returning on your own.
