Full description Step into the majesty of Stirling Castle, a historic gem that was home to illustrious monarchs such as Mary Stuart and her son James. This imposing castle, which once served as royal lodgings, invites you to explore its historic and Renaissance splendour.

The Renaissance palace of the castle awakens the imagination, transporting us to past times where grand banquets and feasts were held in its great hall. This space, witness to the pomp and elegance of royalty, immerses us in the essence of palace life.

The tour narrative is interwoven with the mystery of King Arthur, revealing the castle's connection to the legend of the Round Table. We will discover the places that fuelled this myth, immersing ourselves in the fascinating story woven around this legendary character.

Over the centuries, Stirling Castle was much more than a royal residence. It stood as an almost impregnable fortress that played a crucial role during the wars of independence. It changed hands several times due to its strategic location, witnessing key moments in Scottish history. From the unresisted capture by Edward I of England in 1296 to the use of the fearsome Warwolf siege weapon in 1304, every corner of the castle tells a story of resistance and military strategy.

This tour will take us inside the fortress, revealing the richness of the buildings and walls that have stood the test of time. We will visit the Chapel Royal, the Royal Palace and the Great Hall, immersing us in the opulence of courtly life. The Douglas Gardens offer an oasis of serenity, while the Military Museum connects us with the castle's military history.

We will explore the Royal Apartments, the Central Courtyard and the Castle Kitchens, each with its own history and charm. This tour of Stirling Castle is a journey through the centuries, where history comes alive in every stone and corridor.

Remember that our private tours are not subject to a fixed itinerary. You, as the client, have the power to choose the specific aspects of the castle you wish to explore. Get ready to immerse yourself in Scotland's living history at Stirling Castle.
