Stirling is Scotland’s most historic city and offers so much. As a location, it provides a gateway to the Scottish Highlands and gives easy access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the rest of the lovely lowlands, making it the best and most efficient base for exploring Scotland.
But Stirling’s brilliance extends well beyond the convenience of its locale, for the city itself has everything that the main cities have: rich history, architectural and natural beauty, and cultural richness. But here’s the thing: Stirling is also cheaper, quieter and smaller than the major Scottish cities, so everything is much more accessible and the city is easily navigated on foot or by public transport. In short, it is perfect for travellers who want to drink in Scotland’s awesomeness in a whistlestop.
