Tour description

Explore Stirling on our Free Tour of the historic centre . Throughout Scotland's history, 11 towns were fortified, and Stirling was one of them. You'll walk through impressive streets, such as King Street, where you'll learn about famous poets and the city's most notable buildings. You'll also ascend to the highest part of the city, where the old medieval market and the site of public executions were located.

In the 19th century, Stirling was home to Britain's most horrific prison . It was a damp, unpleasant place, packed with prisoners, including men, women and children. They ranged from petty criminals to adults, from murderers to people awaiting trial and debtors.

On the other hand, the Holy Rude Church in Stirling was the scene of the coronation of King James VI, son of Mary Stuart . Together with Westminster Abbey, this church is the only one still in use and has witnessed such events in Great Britain. A local guide will accompany you through the streets of this beautiful city, where you will discover King Street, the medieval wall , Mercat Cross, the Old Gaol, the Tollgate, John Cowane's Hospital, the Old Burying Ground, Pyramid Star and the Holy Rude Church, among other places.
