Sunday - into the Highlands

[Photos of Stirling Castle and Wallace Memorial added 30 April]




Had a fairly big agenda today, mostly based on the English / Scottish border wars. We went to Stirling Castle, Bannock Burn and the William Wallace Memorial. The first was quite different to any others we’d seen - it was light and airy, and had a fantastic chapel and Grand Hall which would be a fabulous wedding venue! The staff here were much more interesting and interested than those at Edinburgh Castle.

At Bannock Burn we heard all about Robert the Bruce and had a play with some weapons of the time. William Wallace was the hero portrayed in the Braveheart movie.
