Kids Days Out In Stirlingshire

Stirlingshire is where the Lowlands stop and the Highlands start, and you can see the join from the castle ramparts. It also happens to be about an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

We list 13 attractions in the area. Stirling Castle is the headline and worth the full ticket, the Loch Katrine steamship takes you into the Trossachs without a walk, and Falkirk has the Wheel and the Kelpies within a short drive of each other.

Stirling and Falkirk are both easy by train. The Trossachs need a car, or the seasonal bus if you plan around it.
