Stirling Castle & Town Tour with Brice – A Private Experience We’ll Never Forget!

5.00Our private walking tour of Stirling with Brice was absolutely fantastic! He met us right at the train station (we came in from Glasgow), and from there, guided us through the charming and historic town of Stirling all the way up to the magnificent Stirling Castle. Brice was an incredible guide — personable, knowledgeable, and a gifted storyteller. He brought every part of Stirling to life, from the narrow streets of the old town to the castle walls overlooking the valley. The way he told the story of King James VI of Scotland — who also became James I of England, uniting the two crowns in 1603 — was especially fascinating and easy to understand. Even our 22-year-old son and his girlfriend were completely engaged. He also took us through the old cemetery and explained the significance of the different burial levels and the history behind the church. Every stop was rich with detail and delivered in a way that felt like walking through a living museum. The private nature of the tour made all the difference — just the four of us which allowed for questions, personal stories, and a far more relaxed, intimate pace. No crowds, no rushed moments — just quality time in an unforgettable setting. If you’re going to Stirling, do yourself a favor and book this tour with Brice. It’s the perfect way to experience both the town and the castle — and to truly appreciate the history Scotland has to offer.
