Discover Stirling Castle and the historic Old Town on a full-day trip from Edinburgh, travelling by train with your guide and with all tickets included.

Meet your guide in central Edinburgh and travel together by direct train to Stirling. Sit back and enjoy the journey through the Scottish countryside before arriving in one of Scotland’s most historic cities.

Once in Stirling, explore the Old Town on foot and discover why this small city has played such an important role in Scottish history. Walk through its medieval streets and see landmarks including the Mercat Cross, Old Town Jail, Mar’s Wark, Cowane’s Hospital, the Church of the Holy Rude and the atmospheric Old Town Cemetery.

Along the way, hear the stories of the kings, queens, battles and political struggles that shaped Scotland. Learn about William Wallace and the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Robert the Bruce and Bannockburn, and the close connections between Stirling and Mary, Queen of Scots.

Continue uphill to Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s greatest royal strongholds. Your admission ticket is included, and your guide will introduce the castle’s history, from its strategic role during the Wars of Independence to its transformation into a magnificent Renaissance royal residence under the Stewart kings.

Discover the stories of James IV, James V and Mary, Queen of Scots, and see the Royal Palace, Great Hall, Chapel Royal and the spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. You will also have time to explore the castle’s historic interiors at your own pace.

After visiting the castle, enjoy some free time in Stirling for lunch, shopping or further exploration before meeting your guide for the return train journey to Edinburgh.

With a maximum group size of 15 people, this tour offers an easy way to discover Stirling without organising trains or admission tickets yourself.
