Welcome to our exciting adventure in Stirling, Scotland! Join us as we embark on a mesmerizing journey to explore two iconic landmarks: Stirling Castle and the Sir Wallace Monument. Immerse yourself in the rich history and breathtaking beauty of this captivating region.
Our first stop is the majestic Stirling Castle, perched high on a volcanic crag. As we step through its ancient gates, we delve into centuries of Scottish history. Marvel at the imposing architecture and intricate details that reflect the castle's significance as a strategic stronghold. Walk in the footsteps of royalty, as this fortress was once home to many Scottish monarchs, including Mary, Queen of Scots. Let the knowledgeable guides transport you back in time with fascinating tales of battles, royal affairs, and political intrigues.
Leaving Stirling Castle behind, we venture towards the iconic Sir Wallace Monument, standing tall on Abbey Craig. This magnificent tower pays tribute to one of Scotland's greatest heroes, Sir William Wallace, who fought for the country's independence. Ascend the winding staircase to the observation deck, where awe-inspiring panoramic views of Stirling and the surrounding landscapes await. Capture the picturesque scenery and feel the spirit of Scottish resilience coursing through your veins.

Born and lived in Stirling most of my life, love seeing people come and enjoy the sites and attractions and leave about our history.
It must have been a great place to grow up in and live. I have to go back someday.:)
Greetings from Scotland and Stirling. The Royal Rampant Lion is a symbol of the Royal Scottish Family!
Greetings from Texas 👋, thank you 😊. I have to go back to Scotland 🏴 soon.
@@DavionWestOh Aye I hope so!
Stirling is one of my favourite places. I love the castle, the Bannockburn Heritage Centre and the National Wallace Monument. There is also the Stirling Distillery, which is a gin distillery. The symbol at the train station was the Royal crest of Scotland.
Ohhhh, I have to go to the distillery next time :).
@@DavionWest It's a short walk from the castle. If you go down the steps at the white building that you pass as you're going into the castle, and follow that road, it will take you to the distillery.
Thanks for sharing! We’re headed there in October. We just booked 4 nights at an Airbnb in Stirling. Watching your video validates that we made a great decision.
I’m excited for y’all!! Y’all will love Stirling! I wish we booked a place to stay. Next time for sure
Love your energy and positivity!!
Thank you, just trying to add postive energy into the world :)
Three take-aways from this video are... 1. Mr. West is an amazing young man with a zest for life and an appreciation for history (Rare these days). 2. Stirling is absolutely beautiful and is now on my list to see this fall (2024) because of this video. 3. There was a LOT of work that went into producing this piece and I truly appreciate it. Bravo to your hard work Sir.
We decided to stay in Stirling, instead of Edinburgh. We loved it! One of my favorite cities in the world at this point.
Thank you for the kind words Larry, my personality and character is a reflection on my parents, friends, and the many leaders and people I have met in my life this far sir. YOU Will love Stirling, I wish I could have filmed more to truly show Stirling, the food, and more sights.
Ahhhh I definitely have to stay next time, did yall stay at hotel? If so what would yall recommend?
@@DavionWest Believe it or not, the Travel Lodge by the train station. Great hot breakfast, reasonable price, and within walking distance to most areas. The room was a little small, but clean and comfortable. The Stirling Highland Hotel was our second choice, but we saved $200 staying at the Travel Lodge.
You did a good job on covering Stirling. Thumbs up. (ps.. loved your Dad grunting at you going up the hill).
Thank you for the kind words :). haha my dad certainly has alot of character.
I'm from the Stirling area and just wanted to say I loved your enthusiasm, it was so enjoyable to watch. Hope you enjoyed your time here 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed 🥰 the video. I really did, I can’t wait to go back.
I come from Stirling I have lived there for eight years such a nice place. I’ve also been to Stirling Castle
Ahhh wow luck!! It truly is a nice beautiful place
So happy to come across your video. My husband and I are going to Scotland in 13 days. We are going to explore Stirling just like you and your family. 😊
Great info 👍
I’m glad my video was able to help y’all ☺️ and thank you for the kind words. I hope y’all have an amazing trip. I wish we could have saw more of Stirling :)
Good to see people come to my home land and enjoy it so much and appreciate it. Makes me annoyed I’ve not spent enough time doing it myself, something I really plan to do over the next year! Good video!
I loved it 🥰, I have to go back and see more of Scotland 🏴. And thank you 🙏 for the kind words
Very enthusiastic, great video and yes the castle is pretty amazing inside. Stirling is officially a city these days (although a very small one), and you missed the views from the wee cairn at the graveyard, and right at the top of the monument (the crown). Got to have a head for heights for those!
Thanks for the tips! I will defiantly go back and explore more of the city. Thank you for the kind words :).
Loving this video 😊 I’m looking to move to Stirling next year so this video really gave me a beautiful glimpse and you have a great energy and respect for everything you visit
Thank you for the kind words, they really mean alot :). Oh you'll love it, the city is so beautiful.
Are you in Stirling? Is it a nice city to live I'm un london thinking to move to smaller city
Much respect to you for venturing out and seeing the real world..... Roslyn Chapel is not too far from Edinburgh City centre... maybe return one day...
P.s. Yo Sad is LegenD
Dad not sad
Yes I have to return someday and spend more time :).
Just came across your video by compleat chance, hope you enjoyed your visit to not only the castle but to Scotland aswell, haste ya back soon. From that fella in the Palace 👀
I really did enjoy Scotland. I have to go back and see more. Haha 🙌🙌
great video! Our Scottish ancestors were captains at Stirling Castle and the castle is built on Clan Erskines land. Can't wait to see it in person in 2024- thanks for the tour!
Woah 😳, that’s amazing history to have in your family. You’ll love it when y’all go. Thanks for the kind words :)
I was most surprised when I found out that we had ties so strongly to an active castle. I figured the reason my people came to America was due to persecution and love of land (re farmland) 🙂. And to a point, there was a conflict during the time my ancestors fled Scotland for Ireland and then came to " the colonies". Fascinating to find nuggets of history from your family's past. I really enjoyed seeing you and your Dad and brother seeing the sites. Thanks again for the info!
Great video hope to visit in 24 , continued success
Thank you for the kind words ☺️ and I hope you get to visit, you’ll love it!!
Great presentation, Stirling looks like a place to go.
Thank you for the kind words ). Yes its defiantly a nice place to go.
That symbol is the rampant lion. Awesome video. Good work
Thank you for the answer ☺️. And thank you for the kind words.
It's fine to talk and film in kirkyards and I want to see grey friars in Edinburgh. It's very spooky!
Excellent presentation, you come across as a very nice and thoughtful young man.
Thank you for the kind words ☺️
That's my home town! Fantastic video! The problem with castles is that they always build them up steep hills.
Thank you for the kind words. Oh you have a beautiful hometown:). Yesss always on steep hills haha.
Stirling Castle is still intact and stands on a hill with incredible views. and surely a lot of history is recorded in this castle, the frescoes in the castle are very beautiful, You have to visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion, a unique castle in England, greeting from England
Stirling Castle really did have some incredible views, sadly I didnt get to go into Brighton Royal Pavilion because I didnt have time while I was there :( next time hopefully :). Greetings from a Texan.
The lion symbol at the train station is the Royal Banner of Scotland
Thank you for the information :)
It's called the National Wallace Monument, not the Sir Wallace Monument. The 'mountains' you saw from the castle are actually only hills, the Ochil Hills.
Thank you for the correction 🙏
That's the trouble with buildings from 1500, no room left for elevators! I live in Falkirk another small town just over the valley from Stirling, not sure if you went there, probably best known today for the Kelpies, yet the old northern fronteir of the Roman empire runs through the town, The Antonine wall from 150 AD or so. The leaders of the battle of Falkirk are buried in a church yard here too, men who fought with William Wallace.
Would you recommend that I visit Falkirk next time I’m there? It sounds like it would be interesting for a video
@@DavionWest It's a smaller town than Stirling, no castle but a big mansion in a park, a few hills but plenty of taxi's. The old Roman wall is 36 miles across the country, remains of forts and things along it, mostly a ditch now the Romans only lasted 20 years here and didn't finish it. 2000 years of history in Falkirk. Though the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel are the modern sights folk come to see, I get asked about them on twitter. Its only about 15 minutes away from Stirling, I will look for a video that shows a bit for you.
It's defintely got the relaxed small town vibe and always things happening in the high street. It used to be the market place for Stirling ages ago. Still a street called "The Cow Wynd" where they brought the cows up.
@@DavionWest ruclips.net/video/0PKdA8561SU/видео.htmlsi=jxKKEk9_3HJP5Le9 Thats the Kelpies and the Wheel
@@DavionWest ruclips.net/video/X3VTL02D0wk/видео.htmlsi=CNjEJDDCD4A9DE4l That one is the park and mansion. There is a lake and a woodland walk, if the weather is good its a nice place to walk through or even just sit and look over the valley.
You can experience "four seasons in one day" in Scotland.
Haha you’re not kidding at all 😂
I wish I could move there
Same!!! I hope I can go back :)
It’s so green because we get a lot of rain lol
Haha that makes a lot of sense
still life in the old man good work dad
Stirling gate way to Scotland. alba gú bráth.
Indeed ☺️, I need to go back soon
im thinking of going abroad here, would you recommend this country?? thankyou for the video!
Thank you for the support ☺️. And yes I would, it’s really beautiful… I been so excited for a country in so long till I visited Scotland 🏴
@@DavionWest that’s amazing, I’ll keep your opinion in mind! 🤍
