The Castle, Stirling, FK8 1EH

The basics

The museum traces the history of the regiment from before 1881—when the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders and 93rd Sutherland Highlanders were amalgamated to become the First and Second Battalions of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment—through their actions in both world wars, up to the present day. Follow the soldiers' personal stories by viewing photographs, uniforms, medals, ceremonial bagpipes, and personal letters. Many guided tours from Edinburgh and Glasgow visit the castle. The museum is worth the stop.

Stirling’s warriors

Stirling is associated with Scottish freedom fighter, William Wallace. The castle and National Wallace Monument, which protrudes from Abbey Craig hill, dominate the city’s skyline. It's where, in the First War of Scottish independence, Wallace’s troops prepared to fight the English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. Outside of town, the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre marks where another great Scot, Robert the Bruce, beat the odds (and the English) in 1314.
