Despre activitate
With Stuart's Bicycle Tours you will see far more than on a walking tour and make the most of your time in Stirling!
Join me on a truly unique journey through one of Scotlands most important and historic cities.
By using one of Scotland’s finest inventions, the pedal bicycle, we can travel through the history and stunning landscape of this ancient capital of Scotland.
Once the seat of Scottish power and monarchy, Stirling sits at the gateway to the Highlands. It has been said throughout history that he who holds Stirling, holds Scotland and this explains its ancient and rich historical importance.
Set to the back drop of the stunning Ochil Mountains our ride will take us to the farther, lesser known hidden gems that litter this part of the Forth Valley.
We will discuss ancient folklore, local heroes, triumphs, tragedies, art, sport, invention and science. Getting to know each other as well as the city and country that surrounds us.

Stirling Bridge
10 min
Returning towards town on excellent new cycle paths we will again reach the River Forth and cross it using the gorgeous stone bridge. Built on the suspected sight of the original Stirling Bridge it not only acts as a crossing but as a monument. William Wallace used the bridge to defeat a much larger English force in the 13th century.

Heading along toward the campus of the University of Stirling we will able to enjoy, what is often voted, the most beautiful university campus in the UK. With the back drop of the Ochil Mountains and its own loch, its easy to see why. Its an oasis of nature to study and was in fact my university for 4 years.

We will continue north getting closer to the mountains before we ascend the hill which plays host to one of the most recognisable symbols of Scotland. The Wallace Monument was built in honour of Scotlands most famous warrior. We will experience the breathtaking views out over the Forth Valley and the town of Stirling itself.

We will begin by riding north towards The Ochil Mountains. Crossing The River Forth we will shortly be at Cambuskenneth Abbey, a little known gem of both religion and the Scottish Wars of Independence.

We will ride around the back of the castle crag to Kings Knot, the still terraced gardens of royalty from centuries ago. From this point we will no only have incredible views of the castle upon its impenetrable rock but also west to the high mountain peaks of the Trossachs (on a clear day!).

Stirling’s most famous landmark, it’s castle. The seat of Scottish power for centuries and arguably Scotlands best loved castle. We will climb the cobbled street into the esplanade and right up to its impressive gates. From the esplanade we will have uninterrupted views of the mountains, the Forth Valley and the town itself. A truly incredible sight. You will have the option to end your tour here, if you wish to visit the castle.
