Stirling bus

Returning Stirling Sightseer: your official guide to the legendary city.

Enjoy Stirling from a different perspective, every day from 23rd May until 31st August 2025. 

Stirling is steeped in history and legend, with stirring tales of bloody battles, heroic figures from the past and a story that has resonated down the centuries to help shape the very character of Scotland today.

You can learn all about Stirling on our new open-top bus tour that shows off our medieval city, complete with audio commentary that brings the sights and the stories they tell to life.

Your ticket lasts all day, so leave and rejoin the bus at any of the stops to get a closer look at any of the attractions along the route.

Here are the highlights:

  • Tours run every hour, seven days a week
  • Hop on and off as much as you like – your ticket lasts for 24 hours
  • Enjoy panoramic views of the River Forth
  • Let us bring the stories of Stirling to life with full audio commentary
  • Your ticket give you a range of money-off deals in Stirling and free return travel to the Battle of Bannockburn Experience.

The basics

The primary stop at Goosecroft Road, situated opposite the Railway Station is where you’ll find us. Our friendly, knowledgeable driver will be on-hand to answer questions, sell tickets and help you find your way.

Buses are fully accessible, with no entrance steps and space for a wheelchair or up to two unfolded buggies.

The tour

The full journey lasts up to 50 minutes, but you can hop on and hop off along the way to explore Stirling at your own pace. You can join the tour at any designated bus stop along the way.

From the open top deck, you’ll have a unique view of all the city must-see landmarks and attractions. We do recognise the reality of the Scottish weather from time to time, which is why (on such rare occasions…) the front section of the top deck is enclosed: so that you can escape the elements and still see the sights.

Make sure to grab a set of complimentary headphones or feel free to plug in your own, so that you can learn and laugh along with the audio commentary guide. 

 

We can't wait to welcome you on board to tell you the story of our incredible city, which includes lots for locals and visitors alike to enjoy. Learn more about the history of the land that William Wallace once roamed and the rising of the Jacobites - and so much more!
