What To Expect

Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most impressive castles due to its imposing position and impressive architecture. From Stirling Castle , visitors can take in views of the Forth Valley and two of Scotland’s most important battle sites – Stirling Bridge (1297) and Bannockburn (1314). Throughout the Wars of Independence with England (1296–1356), Stirling was hotly fought over and changed hands frequently.Stirling Castle is not only one of Scotland’s grandest and most imposing castles, it was also a real favourite with Scotland’s Stewart kings and queens. James IV created the Great Hall, the largest medieval banqueting hall ever built in Scotland, and James V’s Royal Palace, with its lavishly decorated Renaissance façades, was a masterpiece of the period. Mary Queen of Scots lived in the castle as a child . The refurbishment of the Great Hall was completed ten years ago . A unique feature is stained glass windows featuring clan crests .

This was a strategy his predecessor William Wallace had not employed. The English army was defeated in a pitched battle which resulted in the deaths of commanders, including the Earl of Gloucester and Sir Robert Clifford
