Great walking tour of Stirling old town today, led by tour guide Jane, whose knowledge brought the history to life. Starting at the old town gaol, she linked the buildings to stories of the people who had lived there, prisoners, judges, kings, queens, earls and tradesmen. The kirk of the Holy Rood, peppered by musket balls from old fights, and some old and very strange gravestones. Finished on the castle esplanade with its magnificent view, and an explanation of Wallace's and Bruce's famous victories. A friendly and informative tour - very good value!
