Relive Scotland’s most pivotal moments in history as you explore some of the best things to do in Stirling.
At the heart of the city sits the impressive Stirling Castle. It commands attention as soon as you arrive as one of the grandest castles in Scotland. Children will love exploring the grounds, which includes the great hall, gardens, royal palace and more. Bursting with art, artifacts, tapestries and treasures it’s a delectable and diverse detour into history.
Discover more about Sir William Wallace as you climb to the top of the National Wallace Monument. A patriot, martyr and Guardian of Scotland he fought bravely for Scotland against the English King and died for his loyalties. There are exhibitions throughout and performances by costumed actors at weekends to help bring his story to life on a Stirling family day out.
Relive the Battle of Bannockburn, where Robert the Bruce faced Edward II to fight for Scottish Independence, with the use of 3D technology, special effects and battle games that put you at the heart of the action. The landscape itself is maintained and respected, with some restored commemorative monuments, such as the statue of Robert the Bruce. Take the time to absorb the atmosphere of this significant place in Scotland’s heritage.
Back in the present day Stirling has lots of other familiy activities and attractions to offer, from ice skating, climbing and swimming at The Peak to enjoying the open space, play equipment, sports facilities and sand pit at Kings Park.
