From Edinburgh: Culross & Stirling Castle Shore Excursion

Embark on our Scotland Adventure from Edinburgh Cruise Terminal: Explore the Scottish Lowlands, see the Kelpies, stroll Culross’s charming streets, and visit the historic Stirling Castle.
Our first stop is Culross, where you’ll step into a perfectly preserved 17th-century Scottish village, its cobbled streets and ochre-washed houses looking like something straight out of a period drama. Once a bustling port on the Firth of Forth, Culross boasts a remarkable collection of historic buildings, some dating as far back as the 12th century. As you wander its cobbled streets and admire the ochre-coloured houses. Enjoy 30 minutes to soak up the atmosphere, capture stunning photographs, and experience the character and culture of an authentic traditional Scottish village

We then travel through the picturesque Scottish countryside, passing near the world-famous Gleneagles Golf Club, before arriving at the Tullibardine Distillery. If you choose, you can join the optional 45-minute “Classic Tour” (entry not included, please pre-book tickets) to discover the whisky-making process and enjoy a dram or two of their finest single malt. If you’d prefer not to take the tour, you can relax in the distillery café, browse the well-stocked shop for gifts and local delicacies, or simply take in the scenic surroundings before we continue our journey. (45 minutes)

Our journey continues to the historic city of Stirling, gateway to the Trossachs and framed by dramatic, forest-clad hills. Here you can choose to explore the magnificent Stirling Castle (admission not included), once a favoured residence of the Stuart kings and the coronation site of Mary, Queen of Scots. Wander its grand halls, sweeping ramparts, and atmospheric courtyards, imagining the power and intrigue that once filled these walls.
If you prefer not to enter, you’re welcome to stroll around the castle’s impressive exterior and enjoy the stunning views from the esplanade. Take in the panoramic scenery of the surrounding countryside and don’t miss the striking Wallace Monument proudly standing on a nearby hilltop—a tribute to Scotland’s legendary freedom fighter, immortalised in Braveheart. (75 minutes)

Continuing south towards Falkirk, your narrated adventure brings you to an engineering marvel that blends modern innovation with historic transport. At the Falkirk Wheel, you’ll witness the world’s only rotating boat lift, which gracefully raises canal boats 79 feet between two canals. Take in the impressive design and watch this incredible feat of engineering in action. (30 minutes)

After visiting the Falkirk Wheel, we’ll take a short trip east to the striking and iconic statues known as The Kelpies. These towering horse-head sculptures stand as a powerful tribute to Scotland’s working horses and industrial heritage. You’re welcome to explore the visitor centre, learn about the history and symbolism behind the Kelpies, and capture stunning photos that will keep the memory of your visit alive for years to come.
