Stirling Castle
Castle Esplanade, top of the Old Town
Address: Castle Esplanade, Stirling FK8 1EJ- Culture
- Mid-price
Explore the royal castle on its crag, from the restored Great Hall to the painted Royal Palace where Mary Queen of Scots spent her childhood.
Why it's a good date: Half indoors, half on the walls, so it works in most weather, and the views from the ramparts run all the way to the Highlands. Give it a morning and walk down through the Old Town for lunch.
