We’ve been touring for the last 4 weeks, and this was, hands down, the finest tour we’ve taken. Another reason to go to Stirling!

Our performance tours are officially back and currently run every weekend and then daily from June onwards at 30 minute intervals between 10.15am and 6pm. Our audio handsets are always available for more information and if you are visiting midweek in May you can take the full self-guided tour. During your visit you can safely explore the cells on the ground floor before heading to the Exercise Yard which is of course located – yes, you guessed it – on the roof! From here you will continue to our observation tower for breath-taking views of the Old Town, Ochils, Trossachs… on a clear day you can see as far as Edinburgh’s Forth Road Bridges!

The whole tour lasts between 45 and 90 minutes – but there’s no time-limit to your experience. Our helpful guides are always on hand to offer insight into all that Stirling has to offer.
