Stirling Castle, Dunfermline Abbey and Rosslyn Chapel

We start our tour of discovery with a drive across the Firth of Forth to reach the ancient Kingdom of Fife.

Dunfermline Abbey, resting place of the Kings

Historic Dunfermline Abbey is a great Benedictine abbey founded by Queen Margaret in the 11th Century. It is also one of Scotland's most significant royal sites, being the resting place of several monarchs.

The famous Scottish hero, Robert the Bruce, is buried in the abbey's choir. We will discover more about his important role in Scotland's history during the tour.

Stirling Castle: Stronghold of Scottish Royalty

After exploring the Abbey and the nearby Palace, we will travel westwards, following the River Forth, to reach Stirling.

Mighty Stirling Castle is set high on a volcanic plug overlooking the city.

Our stop will allow a leisurely visit to the castle, where you will have a chance to see the splendid Renaissance Royal Palace of King James V and the magnificent Chapel Royal, where Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned in 1543.

The views from the castle ramparts, with the imposing Wallace Monument and the Ochil Hills as a backdrop, are simply stunning.

Bannockburn: site of the famous independence victory

We make the short drive to the site of the Battle of Bannockburn, where the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, had a famous victory over the English Army of King Edward II in June 1314.

The success of the Scots' in this battle was an important step toward independence from English rule.
