Sightseeing

One of the largest and most important castles in Scotland, dates from 1107. Once you are inside (paid admission) the free, guided tour is excellent and helps bring to life the rich history. Can easily spend hours here as there is so much to see. There are fabulous views across the local area. There is also a tearoom if you are in need of sustenance.

Great place for a day out if the weather is nice - pack a picnic and take the boat across Scotland's only lake (the rest are lochs). Explore the island and what's left of the Priory, then find a quiet spot to eat lunch and enjoy the scenery.

Go on a clear day for fantastic views and exhibits telling the story of William Wallace. Although there are winding, steep staircases and no lifts, so is not suitable for everyone.

Great day out for families. There is so much to do that you can easily spend the whole day here (although much is outdoors so helps if the weather is cooperating!)
