Stirling - Scotland
Stirling has always played a pivotal role in Scotland's history, and during a perfect city break to Stirling you'll see why. With a vibrant atmosphere; compact yet full of historical and cultural locations, including art galleries, museums and live venues, all of which make Stirling the ideal place for a city break.

Stirling Castle with its royal links is also one of the city's best viewpoints, offering vistas across the city to the beautiful Ochil and Trossachs hill ranges. Also well worth a visit is the National Wallace Monument built in tribute to Scotland's national hero Sir William Wallace. 

Stirling is the ideal winter city break destination for those who like to combine city amenities with the great outdoors. Just a short drive and you've reached Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park which is surely home to some of Scotland's most stunning landscapes. Cycle or walk around the many way-marked trails in the area, or take a cruise on the famous Loch itself.

Even more appealing in winter, Stirling is well worth a visit. Meander through cobbled streets to Stirling Castle Gardens. The views to the Ochil Hills are breathtaking and worth a visit. Stirling Castle boasts a brilliant events programme, from festivals to music gigs. Wind your way down to the Smith Art Gallery and Museum. A relaxing stroll around the loch in the surrounding university campus is magical.
