"Stirling Castle" Scotland Things to Do Tip by MalenaN

On top of the hill above Stirling there has been a castle/fortress for very long, but the buildings you can see today mostly dates from the 14th – 16th centuries. At that time the castle was a residence for Stuart monarchs.
At the entrance I paid 2 pounds for an audio guide, which was good to have. You will get good information off the different buildings and hear stories about the people who once lived there. There is a lot to see and it took me two hours to visit the castle. You can easily stay longer.

Entrance fee to the castle is 8.00 pounds. In that price the entrance for Argyll’s Lodging is included (as the palace of the castle is under renovation until 2008).

The castle is open every day of the week:
1 October – 24 March 9.30 – 17.00
25 March – 30 September 9.30 – 18.00
