I can certainly understand the other reviewer's negative comments about this property. Much of the castle is closed for major restoration projects, including the Royal Lodgings (eventually they will appear as they did during the 1500's). The projects will take many years; the preservation of historical sites is painstakingly slow. In the meantime, they do have some interesting exhibits. The... more

First, I should say this was my first and only visit to a castle (and want to see more!) This was my first trip to Europe and only spent a few days in Scotland. My aunt has relatives in Scotland, and she also lived there, and said that Stirling Castle was her favourite.... so of course that's where we had... more

I can't understand how Stirling castle can be considered one of the most important attraction of Scotland since it has nothing to see! It certainly has an historical significance, but that's not enough for an admission ticket of more than 10£ per person (the most expensive of the 10 castles we visited in Scotland), and though has beautiful exteriors and... more

We toured a number of castles in Scotland and all of them were worthwhile and had something to recommend them but Stirling Castle is among the best. I walked into the castle and said, "Now, this is what a castle should look like!" It suited my Hollywood-inspired ideals of dimension and grandeure more than any other. We visited in a... more

I loved Stirling Castle. The walk from the train station was a bit rough since it is all up hill - but i survived. The castle is amazing. The audio guide is informative and very interesting. The Palace will be stunning once the renovations are done. I enjoyed the tapestry centre and spent quite a bit of time there chatting... more

The castle is currently being renovated and there are no exhibits on show. Full entry fee is still being charged. I expect the castle would be very interesting if there were artefacts from the ages but unfortunately, this is not the case. Inside the chapel and the great hall, the interior seems to be very modern, from the new ceiling... more

The Castle's best viewed on a fine day, as some of the best parts are the exterior walls and ramparts. Castle ticket includes entry to Argyll's Lodging at the castle entrance - a totally delightful enchanting Renaissance house not to be missed, small but very appealing. Also next to the Castle are Cowane's Hospital (the Guildhall) and the Holy Rude... more

Stirling Castle was by far the best castle I had the privilege to visit during my trip to England and Scottland. I found that Stirling was the least restrictive as far as places I could go and explore within the castle walls. The Scottish landscape added to the beauty of the castle. I would have loved to have had more... more

I loved Stirling Castle. So much history has happened there. The tour was great. A must see while you are in Scotland. more
