  3. Lindores Abbey Distillery
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Lindores Distillery is known as the "Spiritual Home of Scotch Whisky". The Abbey dates back to 1191, and was visited by various monarchs and historical figures, such as David II, Edward I of England, Robert the Bruce, and Scotland’s national hero William Wallace. The first documented reference to whisky making at the Abbey dates from 1494 - over half a millennium ago!

    With over 1000 years of history, Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most important historical sites, and its history features some of Scotland's most iconic characters, such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots
    and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

    This incredible castle was once the favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens. After extensive restortion, the castle offers a unique experience with characters in period costume, as bodyguards, court officials and servants, who will tell you information about some of the main rooms you will visit, bringing the 16th century alive! There are also regular free tours by the knowledgeable castle guides departing regularly from the gate.
