Wallace Monument and Tower is amazing. Set on top of the hills over looking Stirling. With a small admission charge it is possible to ascend the narrow winding staircase to the top of the tower. There are 3 exhibition floors to visit along the way but the panoramic views at the top are breathtaking and worth the climb.

Stunning monument and well worth the climb up the hill and the steps! They do have a shuttle bus from the visitor centre at the bottom. There was an actor in the grounds of the monument giving a brief history of Wallace and his efforts to free Scotland from English rule which really added to the experience. The views across Stirling and beyond are fabulous, especially from the top. I would highly recommend a visit.

Wonderful historic place to visit. Nice little cafe, it offers gluten free options as well as catering to other dietry needs. There is a shop at the bottom and a shop within the monument. Toilets at the bottom and again inside the monument. A free shuttle bus to take you up and bring you back down or you can walk it. Lovely trail with carved items as you walk along.

We went here right after closing and walked all the way up to the top. We didn’t know that there would be a bit of a hike but it is all paved with loads of history and wooden sculptures. The monument is outstanding, amazing, beautiful and rich with visual detail. The panoramic views of Stirling were a nice addition too. We enjoyed the visit. Well worth it!

Majestic monument which is visible already from a distance, going by train approaching the city. The monument itself is an hour's distance from the station, I recommend to walk one way and return by bus. The entrance is quiet, as far as I know you can drive a car to a gate of a tower. Already from this place you can enjoy a beautiful view, it is even better on the very top, which is reached by winding rather narrow stairs. Limited number of people due to limited space, you have to wait when someone goes up or down. Several floors, each with a history of Scotland, the story of William Wallace, an animated history of the Battle of Stirling, the opportunity to create your own coat of arms and to buy souvenirs, is what awaits you after entering the tower. I recommend a visit.
