From bo‚Äôness it is a short drive into Linlithgow to visit the palace, birth place of Mary Queen of Scots and our second filming location for Outlander, from here we will head into Stirling to the Wallace (Braveheart) monument looking down toward the scene for the actual battle of Stirling Bridge, staying in the Stirling area we will drive to the Bannockburn Centre where we can take part in a battle simulation where we make the decisions to see if we can follow in Bruce‚Äôs (The Outlaw King) footsteps winning a famous victory over the English armies in 1314.

We will head out of Stirling towards Doune Castle the setting for Multiple TV and Movie scenes. The castle has been used for Monty Python, Game of Thrones and Outlander.
