I booked two tickets for Stirlimg Castle. I thought i was booking them directly with the venue. When we arrived onsite. I was told that I had been scammed and that the “tickets” were not valid. One of the ticket agents tried for a bout 15 minutes to figure it out but I wound up meed ing to buy another set of tickets

Amazing castle and learning experience. We joined the free guided tour which took about an hour. It provided a good overview of the history of the castle and the history of the rulers of Scotland and England. Well worth the visit.

I would recommend the guided tour. I didn't catch the name of the guide who did the 2pm tour on 26/09. However, I can say he was excellent. He came across as very informative and delivered his tales with a degree of humour. Allow yourself time to visit the various areas of the castle after the tour when you can take things at your own pace and really explore the various nooks and crannies of the castle. I spent around 4 hours in total in the castle and grounds. I'm Scottish and learned new things about the castle.

This Castle and its setting are amazing. The whole place is remarkably well preserved and gorgeous. The views from the hill on which the castle sits are incredible. The audio guide was also fantastic explaining the history of Scotland during the existence of the castle, its part in that history as well as what life was like for those who have inhabited it over the centuries. It was absolutely fascinating.
