Glasgow / Greenock Shore Excursion - This half day tour visits Stirling Castle which is considered one of Scotland's most magnificent castles. Following the castle visit you enjoy a stop in the medieval old town of Stirling, which is known as the "best small city" in Scotland.
After meeting your private guide at the pier you immediately depart for Stirling, and its famous castle. Stirling Castle is built on a rocky outcrop offering commanding views for many miles around. It was built as an almost impregnable fortification, and visitors can explore many aspects of its long military history, particularly during the Wars of Independence in the 1300s. But it was also an important and luxurious royal palace. Visitors today can gain an insight into the life of Scotland's royal court, especially that of James V.
After your memorable tour of Stirling Castle, you enjoy a short visit to the town of Stirling which is located at the mouth of the River Forth. The medieval old town is nestled below a large fortress. Many believe Stirling to be the "best small city" in Scotland. After your visit, you can judge for yourself.
Following this stop you return to the pier in Glasgow / Greenock.
