Bookmark & shareWith a lofty castle and bloody battles, Stirling has a proud and royal history.
Like a mini-Edinburgh, Stirling has one of Scotland's grandest castles - sitting atop an extinct volcano - an impossibly charming cobblestoned old town and the best-preserved town wall in the country. But it's the history that stands out - Bannockburn, William Wallace and the crowning of James VI.
