Sightseeing
Stirling Castle is the best period Castle in Scotland, full of fun for the kids and beautiful views over the Forth Valley. Be sure to visit the kitchens and the looms, where artists recreate 16th Century tapestries. Walks from the Castle at the top of the historic Old Town feature Argyll's Lodging and the Church of the Holy Rude as well as a walk down a walled path into town, known as the Back Walk. There is also a great pub called the Portcullis just as you reach the top of the hill leading to the Castle Esplanade.

This is a must see for everyone, if nothing else for the walk and the surrounding woods - beautiful! The monument is no more than a 20 minute walk from the flat where you will pass by the Cambuskenneth Abbey Bell Tower. The Abbey was founded in 1140, and is where Robert the Bruce held his parliaments and is the burial place of James III and Margaret of Denmark in the 1480s.
