• Day 3: Day at leisure or Stirling

  Relax in Pitlochry or join our optional excursion to Stirling. This historic city is where the Wars of Independence were fought and won and where for three centuries monarchs rules, and today the rich heritage is apparent throughout the city. Why not stroll down the compact heritage mile which links Stirling’s Old Town with its bustling modern centre and admire the historic buildings . Overlooking the scene of one of Scotland’s most famous battle sites, Stiriling Bridge, is the 220 ft high National Wallace Monument. It’s 246 to the top, but the glorious views are worth it!
