The region has played a significant role in shaping Scottish history, owing to its strategic position in central Scotland between the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands. The city of Stirling is home to the iconic Stirling Castle, perched dramatically on the volcanic rock of Castle Hill. Immerse yourself in the tales of Scottish kings and queens as you wander through its grand halls and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Uncover the region's rich heritage by visiting the National Wallace Monument, dedicated to the legendary Scottish hero, William Wallace, or dive into the past at the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre, where you can relive the historic battle that shaped Scotland's destiny. Our cottages in Stirling allow you to truly relax on a city break in your home away from home.
