Full description
On this guided tour of Scotland's most famous medieval landmarks, learn about the many heroes that battled in this ancient kingdom. The first stop on your tour will be the town of Dunfermline. Walk down the beautiful nave of Dunfermline Abbey*, the final resting place of Robert the Bruce, who battled for Scotland's right to be a nation. Next, travel to Stirlingshire, where you will stop in the beautiful city of Stirling, site of the monument of Scottish hero William Wallace (whose life was dramatized in the film Braveheart). You'll have ample time to stroll through the beautiful and ancient streets that surround it. You will also have a chance to explore the city's stunning castle if you wish. From Stirling, head to Bannockburn, the battlefield where Robert the Bruce routed the English in 1314. Lastly, decode the mystery of Rosslyn Chapel, which was made famous in Dan Brown's novel the Da Vinci Code. Is this the resting place of the Holy Grail? No one really knows, but you'll love the chapel and the beautiful walk you can take through Roslin Glen and the ruins of Rosslyn Castle.

Excelent tour. The guide Dave was very charming and explained the scottish history with simple speach and slow. The locations were very interesting. Only the Dumfermline abbey lacked a proper explanation from the local guide wich stood only there but didn’t explain anything.

It was a wonderful tour. Very nice people, the driver (a good one too) who was also the guide knew his stuff and could tell us a lot. He is very passionate, which made it even more interesting. We had enough time by all the stops to explore. We had a lot of fun and I definitely recommend this tour!

Tour was with a small group not the big bus crowd. Driver provided excellent information as we traveled to each location. There was ample time at each location to take in the site, not rushed through as on other tours we have taken. Sterling Castle was the highlight of the stops, recommend this tour.
