Overview

Follow in the footsteps of two of Scotland’s most famous heroes, William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. These warriors fought during the 13th and 14th centuries during the battles of Scotland’s wars of Independence. Climb the steps of the National Wallace Monument to view the famous Wallace sword and scale the walls of Stirling Castle, which provided the backdrop to two of Scotland’s most famous battles. We will also learn how the battles took place by visiting the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor centre.

Itinerary

  • National Wallace Monument

    Our first location we will visit today will be the National Wallace Monument. One of Stirling’s most distinctive landmarks, overlooking the scene of Scotland’s victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge on the 11th September 1297.This is a place where history is something you can touch and feel, as you follow the story of Sir William Wallace, patriot, martyr, and Guardian of Scotland. Soak up the history and stunning views from the Wallace Monument, perched high on the Abbey Craig around where Wallace camped before his heroic battle.

    1 hour

  • Stirling Castle

    Soon after, we will be visiting Stirling Castle that provides awesome views over the Forth Valley and the historic battlefields. Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most historic sites, which was home to the Stewart kings and queens throughout the centuries. Highlights include the Great Hall, Chapel Royal, The Regimental Museum, Great Kitchens, Tapestry Studio and the Queens Palace, which your guide will be happy to take you through. You can also enjoy a lunch at the Unicorn Café, which offers a range of hot and cold drinks and food.

    2 hours

  • The Battle of Bannockburn Experience

    Our next visit will take us to the Bannockburn Visitor Centre where we will learn about the famous battle where Robert the Bruce raised his standard in 1314 and gathered his men to take on the might of the English army led by King Edward II. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with medieval warriors whilst learning about the tactics of the two opposing kings in a truly immersive experience. Witness the sights and sounds of medieval battle first-hand including ancient battle strategies, weapons and armour. Each tour culminates in a visit to the Battle Room. Here, you will witness Bruce's decisive victory against all odds before taken the opportunity to recreate the Battle of Bannockburn and take command of the virtual battlefield. After your tour, we will take the short journey back to your accommodation.

    1 hour

  • Stirling Bridge

    Walk on the old Stirling Bridge and learn about how the battle took place way back in 1297.

    15 minutes

  • Cambuskenneth Abbey

    One of Stirling's hidden gems with a huge historical importance. This is where Robert the Bruce held his first parliament after the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Legend has it that a part of Sir William Wallace is buried within the grounds of the old abbey.

Wonderful Day Trip from Edinburgh

Published on Jun, 2024

We scheduled the Braveheart Experience thru our local travel agent. This tour can also be scheduled directly thru Trip Advisor or the tour operator, Alba Experiences. James McKinlay is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Scottish history. His company vehicle is very comfortable and he provides water, snacks, and a dram of whiskey on the tour. We first stopped at the Battle of Bannockburn Experience for one hour. Next, we stopped at Stirling Castle for two hours followed by the Wallace National Monument for one hour. We had lunch at the Wallace Monument prior to climbing the stairs and visiting the artifacts. James also added a bonus stop to see the Kelpies at The Helix Park. I highly recommend this tour, as well as, an Outlander Tour by Alba Experiences. James acted in two episodes of Outlander’s Season 3 and his Mother’s family has the surname of Fraser. His relatives fought at Culloden. James has a vested interest in sharing his family’s history!

A glimpse into history from a passionate Scotsman

Published on Aug, 2023

Alba experiences with Owner James as our driver and guide was beyond Excellant. James has a deep passion and knowledge for Scotland and it’s history. Story telling while presenting us the facts is a gift only few can claim. James does it with ease. He was careful with my husband and I and walked at our speed with numerous comfort breaks along the way. I wish we had booked more tours with him.

Experience the Scottish Battlefields through the eyes of a passionate Scot!

Published on Aug, 2023

James has a passion for the history of Scotland that pours out of him. He is proud of his country and so knowledgeable about its history. His love and enthusiasm is contagious. He told great stories and helped us understand what happened at these battles and why. He had also asked us if we had any limitations and worked with us for the very best experience possible. We recommend him and this tour without reservation! We had a grand time.
