Your Stirling Castle Day Tour from Glasgow

As you enter the castle and stroll the cobbled walkway through to the gatehouse, you’ll be in awe of this remarkable medieval structure. The passionate custodians are incredibly knowledgeable about Stirling’s turbulent history and the castle’s architectural splendour.

Moving on, you can explore the various sections of the stronghold, including the rampart, offering panoramic views of Stirlingshire and the famous National Wallace Monument. Within the fortification lies the splendid Great Hall and the banqueting area, which hosted the grand celebrations, such as the baptism of James VI and many other pivotal moments in Scottish history.

After exploring the castle, we travel to the Lion and Unicorn pub in Thornhill for traditional Scottish fare. In the afternoon, meet the famous Highland Coos at Kilmahog – perfect for photographs and a uniquely Scottish experience. Time allowing, we travel to Duck Bay on the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, where I’ll play traditional bagpipe tunes as you take in stunning lochside views before returning to Glasgow.
