On this tour we visit Stirling and head to the most famous battle in Scottish history Bannockburn. In 1314 Robert The Bruce defeated the might of the English army to regain Scotland’s independence. A monument stands where The Bruce had his command post and orchestrated what was to be, one of the greatest victory on Scottish soil.
Not too far away stands another monument to a Scottish hero – The Wallace Monument commemorating William Wallace (Braveheart!). Overlooking Stirling bridge, this monument marks the site of William Wallace’s famous victory over the might of the English army in 1297.
Stirling Castle is our next stop. This landmark towering over the city is very similar to Edinburgh Castle in appearance. Most of what you see today was built by the Stewart monarchy in the early 1500s.
Finally we visit Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest loch by surface area, and home to the UKs largest inland Island- Inchmurrin. This fresh water loch was created by a glacier only 10,000 years ago. Several islands in Loch Lomond are home to many animals. One of which is inhabited by Wallabies, set free by thier owners when the Endangered Animals Act became law in Scotland. They seem to have settled in well, as there were 38 of them at the last count.
