Drinks & Nightlife

Amazing venue located in the old part of Stirling close to the Castle at the top of the town. Created in what was the old Jail! Really good line up of bands and music here - predominantly folk music but I saw a hip-hop act here recently!

Sightseeing

Really beautiful Castle and well worth seeing (in my view better than Edinburgh Castle) - lots of Scottish history, and they always have events on. A must-see. Don't miss the beautiful walks around the bottom of the Castle and around 'Kings Knot' . You can park for free at the 'Knot' and walk into town via the lovely paths at the foot of the Castle. Always events on at the Castle too!

As well as being heavily featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Doune Castle was also used for the castle known as Winterfell in the pilot of the award winning TV series Game of Thrones as well as Castle Leoch in Outlander. Beautiful walks around the Castle and 2 mins walk into the lovely town of Doune with great cafes and shops.

Dunblane is just a lovely rural town in Stirlingshire - there are also really good cafes and restaurants here as well as wonderful walks around the town and a visit to the cathedral is a must. Great spot for souvenir shopping. You can also park right next to the train station and get the train directly into Edinburgh for a day trip.

Essentials

This is the nearest supermarket and petrol station. Not many petrol stations to the West of the cottage - this is the best place to fill up. Large supermarket open late - also right next door to a McDonalds. Sainsburys also has a cafe and a pharmacy.
