What To Expect

Stirling Castle

your day begins with your Greenock shore excursion heading through to ‘Braveheart’ country, to visit Stirlingshire and Stirling Castle, arguably one of Scotland’s most important fortresses. Below the Castle, the Old Town of Stirling is still protected by its original walls, built in the 16th Century to protect Mary, Queen of Scots from Henry VIII. Here we will stop to enjoy time to tour the castle, learn all about the exploits of Robert the Bruce and the infamous Scottish Queen, and enjoy refreshments at the castle’s charming café.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Included

Our guide and driver were great. The guide was very knowledgeable and was always pointing out interesting sites and facts. The driver was very patient and smooth - he was able to maneuver through some tight spots. They also picked some nice spots to stop. The only issues were the HVAC on the bus was not working properly - it was either to cool or too warm. And it would have been to learn more about Stirling Castle before we arrived there. Regardless, all in all I would recommend this tour.

The tour was ok, nothing really exciting. I was not impressed with the castle. I honestly wish I'd gone on another tour.
