A short history...

The Royal Burgh of Stirling became Scotland's newest City in 2000 but it has been of historic importance for almost one thousand years.
Whoever held Stirling, controlled Scotland, the Castle situated on the rocky craggs giving a commanding all round view. The main north south roads crossed the Forth at Stirling Bridge being the lowest bridge on the Forth until Kincardine Bridge in 1936 and the Forth Road Bridge in 1964.
The area steeped in history with William Wallace's victory at Stirling Bridge in 1297, defeat at nearby Falkirk 1298 and Robert the Bruce's victory at Bannockburn 1314.

Modern Stirling is now much more cosmopolitan and friendly.

Within the City and surrounding area there is a choice of things to do including bingo, bowls, cinema, Falkirk Wheel, Golf, Ice Skating, Museum, Night Clubs, Petanque, Rugby, Safari Park, Shopping, Swimming, Ten Pin Bowling, Tennis and many spectacular walks.
