Stirling Castle

Very informative staff especially in the King and Queens quarters and in the great hall, excelent immersive displays. When we arrived we got a telling off. More details in Parking section. But what made it special was being allowed to sit on the thrones, ( lift the seat of the throne and a well known saying will come to mind) It is not just a euphemism for the loo! The long oak table and admiring the restoration of parts of the Castle.

We visited the castle whilst on a motorhome holiday in the area. Having researched the site, we decided to use my normal manual wheelchair with freewheel. This allowed easier movement over the many cobbles, but also more ability to access the inside spaces. I'm normally pretty independent and don't need help getting around but my husband had to help me a lot around the castle grounds because it is very steep in places and lots of cobbles.

Very user friendly and hands on. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help you access as much as possible. Lifts etc.
