One of Scotland's grandest castles due to its imposing position and impressive architecture, Stirling Castle commands the countryside for many miles around.
It towers over some of the most important battlefields of Scotland's past, including Stirling Bridge, the site of William Wallace's victory over the English in 1297 and Bannockburn, where Robert the Bruce defeated the same foe in the summer of 1314.

Wallace Monument & University of Stirling
Spectacular views of Stirling and the mountains. this 220 feet (67m) high Victorian Gothic tower was opened in 1869 to commemorate Scotland's greatest freedom fighter, Sir William Wallace (1267-1305). It was funded by public subscription, and donations poured in from expatriate Scots around the world. Support came from many European leaders, including the Italian patriot, Garibaldi.
Stirling University is possibly the most scenically dramatic in Britain and is also home the MacRobert Arts Centre with its brand new theatre and cinema complex. The Scottish National Sports Institute is located on the campus.
