Gateway to the Highlands
Stirling, known as the 'Gateway to the Highlands', is one of Scotland’s most historic and scenic cities. Set along the River Forth and framed by rolling hills and mountains, Stirling sits at the meeting point of the Highlands and Lowlands.
A guided Stirling bike tour often begins in the charming Old Town, where cobbled streets lead up to the magnificent Stirling Castle, perched high on a rocky hill. Once a residence of Scottish kings and queens, the castle has played a central role in Scotland’s history.
Cyclists can also visit the striking National Wallace Monument, which stands proudly above the city and commemorates the life of Scottish hero William Wallace. Nearby, Stirling Bridge marks the site of one of Scotland’s most famous battles.
Riding along the River Forth, you’ll discover peaceful riverside paths and scenic views across the Forth Valley. Stops may include Cambuskenneth Abbey, a historic site and the resting place of King James III.
The surrounding landscape, with views of the Ochil Hills and beyond, adds a dramatic natural backdrop to the city’s rich heritage.
