Stirling Castle's walls and palace buildings on top of a tree-covered crag under a blue sky

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.
