Inchmahome Priory
From the Lake of Menteith (called lake not loch due to a mistranslation from Gaelic) a ferry takes visitors to the substantial ruins of Inchmahome Priory. Mary, Queen of Scots was kept safe here as a child during Henry VIII’s ‘Rough Wooing’. Henry attacked Stirling trying to force Mary to marry his son in order to unite the kingdoms.

Forth Inn
In the middle of the village, the solid Forth Inn seems to be the lifeblood of the town, with locals and visitors alike queuing up for good, honest pub fare. The tasty bar meals are the best in town. It also provides accommodation and beer, with drinkers spilling outside into the sunny courtyard. Single/double rooms are available for £50/80, but they can be noisy at weekends.
