    The giant horse heads were bigger than I expected and very impressive. Stirling Castle is one of the best and most interesting castles we visited. And of course there is the Falkirk wheel. We spent 2+ weeks touring Scotland and this stop was one of the highlights. I recommend both the tour and this stop. The people were very friendly and eager to help when we had questions.

    Day trip including, 3 bridges, village of Culross, Bannockburn site, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument May 2024 William picked up the 6 of us at our hotel (Du Vin) in Edinburgh. Our first stop was South Queensferry and the viewing platform to see the 3 bridges from 3 different centuries that span the Firth of Forth. Then on to the picturesque village of Culross (used as a filming location for Outlander and other films). From there to the site of the battle of Bannockburn and the monument to Robert the Bruce. We then headed to Stirling Castle and admired the views of Stirling from the wall around the castle. Next was the Wallace Monument. We opted for the van ride to the top to admire even more spectacular views of the countryside below. Throughout the trip Willie (William Gavin) educated us regarding the kings, battles and geography of the area. His enthusiasm and love of Scotland was infectious. He tailored our excursion perfectly, taking into consideration some in our group with mobility challenges. We were dropped back at our hotel in Edinburgh after a wonderful day filled with beautiful sites and a better understanding of the history of the area.

    David was very accommodating. We had very foggy weather in the morning and could not see the Kelpies so he adjusted our schedule so that we would be able to see them later in the day. He gave us extra time to get everything in which we really appreciated. There definitely was not enough time at Stirling Castle. This stop should be a minimum of two hours as the guided tour is one hour, then there is no extra time to see anything else. Overall, it was well worth the day.

    An inspirational experience, we had not even heard of these magnificent beasts, the whole experience was fun and informative. Our guide for the tour inside one of the sculptures was so well-informed and very enthusiastic, she made a very good presentation which kept the whole group spellbound.
