Itinerario
Nuestra primera ubicación que visitaremos hoy será el Monumento Nacional Wallace. Uno de los hitos más distintivos de Stirling, con vistas a la escena de la victoria de Escocia en la batalla del puente de Stirling el 11 de septiembre de 1297. Este es un lugar donde la historia es algo que puedes tocar y sentir, mientras sigues la historia de Sir William Wallace, patriota , mártir y guardián de Escocia. Sumérjase en la historia y las impresionantes vistas desde el Monumento a Wallace, encaramado en lo alto de la Abadía Craig, donde Wallace acampó antes de su heroica batalla.
Poco después, visitaremos el castillo de Stirling que ofrece impresionantes vistas sobre el valle de Forth y los campos de batalla históricos. Stirling Castle es uno de los sitios más históricos de Escocia, que fue el hogar de los reyes y reinas de Stewart a lo largo de los siglos. Los puntos destacados incluyen el Gran Salón, la Capilla Real, el Museo Regimental, las Grandes Cocinas, el Estudio de Tapices y el Palacio de Queens, que su guía estará encantado de llevarle. También puede disfrutar de un almuerzo en el Unicorn Café, que ofrece una variedad de bebidas y alimentos fríos y calientes.
Nuestra próxima visita nos llevará al Centro de Visitantes de Bannockburn, donde aprenderemos sobre la famosa batalla en la que Robert the Bruce elevó su nivel en 1314 y reunió a sus hombres para enfrentarse al poder del ejército inglés dirigido por el Rey Eduardo II. Ponte hombro con hombro con guerreros medievales mientras aprendes sobre las tácticas de los dos reyes opuestos en una experiencia verdaderamente inmersiva. Sé testigo de primera mano de las vistas y los sonidos de la batalla medieval, incluidas las antiguas estrategias de batalla, armas y armaduras. Cada recorrido culmina en una visita a la sala de batalla. Aquí, serás testigo de la decisiva victoria de Bruce contra viento y marea antes de aprovechar la oportunidad de recrear la Batalla de Bannockburn y tomar el mando del campo de batalla virtual. Después de su recorrido, tomaremos el corto viaje de regreso a su alojamiento.

We scheduled the Braveheart Experience thru our local travel agent. This tour can also be scheduled directly thru Trip Advisor or the tour operator, Alba Experiences. James McKinlay is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Scottish history. His company vehicle is very comfortable and he provides water, snacks, and a dram of whiskey on the tour. We first stopped at the Battle of Bannockburn Experience for one hour. Next, we stopped at Stirling Castle for two hours followed by the Wallace National Monument for one hour. We had lunch at the Wallace Monument prior to climbing the stairs and visiting the artifacts. James also added a bonus stop to see the Kelpies at The Helix Park. I highly recommend this tour, as well as, an Outlander Tour by Alba Experiences. James acted in two episodes of Outlander’s Season 3 and his Mother’s family has the surname of Fraser. His relatives fought at Culloden. James has a vested interest in sharing his family’s history!
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so happy to know that you had a lovely tour with us and I hope to see you again on your next visit to Scotland. Kind regards James
Alba experiences with Owner James as our driver and guide was beyond Excellant. James has a deep passion and knowledge for Scotland and it’s history. Story telling while presenting us the facts is a gift only few can claim. James does it with ease. He was careful with my husband and I and walked at our speed with numerous comfort breaks along the way. I wish we had booked more tours with him.
Thank you Pauline for your kind review. I am so happy that you enjoyed your tour with us on your visit to Scotland. Hopefully we meet again on your next visit. Kind regards James
James has a passion for the history of Scotland that pours out of him. He is proud of his country and so knowledgeable about its history. His love and enthusiasm is contagious. He told great stories and helped us understand what happened at these battles and why. He had also asked us if we had any limitations and worked with us for the very best experience possible. We recommend him and this tour without reservation! We had a grand time.
Thank you Pauline for your lovely review. I am thrilled to know that you enjoyed your tour with us and hopefully we get the chance to meet again on your next visit to Scotland. Haste ye Back! James
The second of two tours with James and Alba Experiences during our time in Scotland. For those who've had their curiosity piqued by the movie BRAVEHEART, this tour dives deep into the actual events surrounding the lives of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and the their fight for Scottish independence. James again impressed with his vast knowledge of history and insight into the Battles of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn. An excellent tour for those who not only want to visit sites of historical significance but also leave with a greater understanding of those who were involved. Another experience that i cannot recommend enough. For those interested in ANY tour in Scotland, you must give James a call.
Thank you Clark for this wonderful review. I am thrilled that you enjoyed your tour with us. I hope to see you again on your next visit to Scotland. Haste ye Back! James

We had five people on this excursion with James. It was so much more than we expected! He is very personable & has a wealth of knowledge about Scottish history! He took us to places we specifically wanted to see & a hidden gem (Cambuskenneth Abbey)! We had a wonderful time & a memorable experience! We would highly recommend James! He has a passion for sharing his beautiful country & it’s history!
H Kathy, It is always nice to hear a shout out for Cambuskenneth abbey. It is a lovely tour once again, and I am so happy that you enjoyed your tours with us on your visit to Scotland. I am looking forward to meeting you all again on your next visit. Kind regards James
