Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix
  • 15m
We start our tour by taking you to the tallest Equine Statues in the world: two legendary Scottish water fairies known as ‘Kelpies’. Weighing at 300 tonnes each and 100 feet tall, they are a feat of engineering.
Stirling Castle
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
With over 1000 years of history, Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most important historical sites, and its past features some of Scotland's most iconic characters, such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie. This incredible castle was once the favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens. After extensive restortion, the castle offers a unique experience with characters in period costume, as bodyguards, court officials and servants, who will tell you information about some of the main rooms you will visit, bringing the 16th century alive! There are also regular free tours by the knowledgeable castle guides departing regularly from the gate.
