Overview

See far more than on a walking tour and make the most of your time in Stirling!

Join me on a truly unique journey through one of Scotlands most important and historic cities.

By using one of Scotland’s finest inventions, the pedal bicycle, we can travel through the history and stunning landscape of this ancient capital of Scotland.

Once the seat of Scottish power and monarchy, Stirling sits at the gateway to the Highlands. It has been said throughout history that he who holds Stirling, holds Scotland and this explains its ancient and rich historical importance.

Set to the back drop of the stunning Ochil Mountains our ride will take us to the farther, lesser known hidden gems that litter this part of the Forth Valley.

We will discuss ancient folklore, local heroes, triumphs, tragedies, art, sport, invention and science. Getting to know each other as well as the city and country that surrounds us.
