Stirling Castle
Perched high on an old volcanic outcrop, dominating the town below, Stirling Castle dates back to the early 12th century and is Scotland's grandest castle. Visit the Great Hall, the Renaissance Royal Palace and the Chapel Royal, which features a 17th-century fresco.
It was here that Mary Queen of Scots spent her childhood and was later crowned in its Chapel Royal. It was also key to important battles between the Scots and English. Also worth visiting are the medieval Great Kitchens and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum.
