A slate sky and the distant silhouette of Stirling Castle set the scene before the group even meets. On cobbled streets the guide points out carved stonework, cannon-lined Broad Street and the stoic figure of Robert the Bruce; the city’s past moves in conversation as much as in sight. The River Forth cuts a brisk line through the lowlands, daring visitors to follow stories of siege and ceremony up to the castle approach.
