Stirling Castle
For generations Scotland’s royalty gathered at Stirling Castle to revel in its impressive buildings, superb sculptures, fine craftsmanship and beautiful gardens. Today Visitors can do the same
Highlights include The Great Hall, Chapel Royal, Regimental Museum of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, The Great Kitchens and Tapestry Studio. Guided tours of the castle help bring its rich and colourful past to life in vivid detail.
Audio tours in six languages are available and a free guided tour of Argyll’s Lodging, one of Europe’s finest surviving 17th-century townhouses, is also included in the entry price – book on arrival.
From spring 2011 visitors will be treated to the magnificent splendour of the James V Royal Palace which has been lovingly restored to its former renaissance glory. This £12 million project will also house several galleries as well as a series of vaults aimed at younger visitors.
Without a doubt one of our grandest castles and a jewel in Scotland’s crown.
