After the Wallace Memorial we drove over to Stirling Castle. This is one of the most important castles in Scotland. A number of Kings and Queens were crowned here, including Mary Queen of Scots. Bonnie Prince Charlie tried to take the castle in 1745 but was unsuccessful. Many of the rooms inside the castle have been restored, and many parts are still original.
This is a statue of Robert The Bruce -
The William Wallace Memorial can be seen in the distance -
Thursday was our night to spend in a castle. We stayed in Airth Castle in the town of Airth. This castle was built in the 1400s and owned by Robert The Bruce's family. We arrived to find two bottles of chilled champagne in the room and a large box of chocolates! The Castle is said to be haunted but we were so tired that if there was a ghost in the room we didn't notice!
