Stirling is a beautiful medieval city in the northwest of Edinburgh, and home of the Battle of Stirling Bridge where William Wallace (Braveheart‘s main character, just in case you didn’t know) took part, defeating the English army.

Therefore, you can find the William Wallace monument on top of a hill where you can see several battlefields and views till a couple of kilometres away in all directions. The monument shows William Wallace’s life since he was a child till his death, focusing in the battles he won… Quite interesting.

We also slept in a slightly special hostel with a cemetery in the garden… and guess who we found there. (ok, maybe 1926 was a bit too late for him)
