This walking tour of Stirling's Old Town lasts about one and a half hours and runs daily at 11am and 2pm. A local guide leads the group through the historic streets, offering a clear overview of Stirling’s history and its role as the 'Gateway to the Highlands.' The tour starts with an introduction to Stirling’s Old Town and its significance. It then moves to the exterior of the Old Town Jail, where the guide explains its historical use. Next, the group walks along a cobbled street featuring historic cannons, references to Mary Queen of Scots, and the old marketplace. The tour continues to the outside of the Tolbooth jail, with stories about its past involving witches, punishments, and executions. Afterwards, it visits Mar’s Wark, an old building known for its carved details, followed by Cowane’s Hospital and its restored Guildhall, with information about its benefactor. The Church of the Holy Rude and its graveyards are next, where the guide shares stories about grave diggers, martyrs, and battles. The final stop is Stirling Castle, viewed from the outside, where the guide recounts tales of Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, and the monarchs who have ruled there. The walk covers approximately one mile and includes all commentary and guidance from the local expert. All visits to buildings are exterior only.
