Stirling is one of beautiful small city located only two-hours drive from Aberdeen. Yes! It is still in Scotland. I don't know why I love Scotland so much so that I would love to explore every inches of Scotland whilst studying in Aberdeen.
Stirling was the second city I visited since I have stayed in Aberdeen. Actually it was more like escape from reality of studying in uni. :p I have no idea that study is so painful and demanding. LOL!
I visited Stirling with some Indonesian friends who study in University of Aberdeen as well. Yes! indeed! with my husband for sure. I think I don't need to mention him because we are a package now. If I travel to somewhere, I can confirm that he will accompany me as well. :p
Since Brian have suggested to visit one of the most bigger castle in Stirling, we decided to go there. There was no doubt that Stirling Castle was absolutely gorgeous and so so so romantic. Ohya, we rented a mini car to make our journey was easier.
To enter the castle, we should pay entry fee which cost 14.5 pounds. Actually it was so much for me, who is a university student, but I did not mind at all. :D
Well, I don't want to say much in this part, so I just want to share the picts I got during the trip. Enjoy!
The second rainbow I have seen in Scotland. It is so lovely!
On my way to Stirling. We are afraid that we could not see blue sky but alhamdulillah.. :)
I could not remember this building's name but it just was so beautiful.
Unfortunately we didn't know that we should reserve before coming! It is so popular among the visitor. The place is fantastic and so Scotland!
It is more beautiful when you come and see this building by yourself.
Stirling Castle!
the entry gate (my husband-Brian-Ira)
Look! There is terrace cafe here! It was cold but you don't want skip this view, I guess!
This castle is so huge. Larger than I expected. 2 hours was not enough to go around this building. You should spare more time, guys!
Can you guess what is it?
I love this scenery, so UK
The bridge - so peaceful sitting here for a moment
The Wallace Monument - My phone was lack of batteries so I could not share more picts in here
Tips:
1. Do not afraid to buy souvenir in the souvenir shop inside the castle. I found the price was cheaper compare with the store in outside the castle. Just buy everything you think so unique because we don't know when we will come back to this city again. Enjoy your life!
2. Don'f forget to try wearing the princess and king's outfit. If you explore this building carefully, you will find it. I am not sure that adult can try it because the size was suitable for kids, lol. I tried it because my body size is suitable with the size! Lucky me! :)
3. Spot free parking in Stirling. You can download the app in google play or others to know where is the free spot parking in Stirling. Stirling is small city but they provide many free parking spot as well.
4. If you want to sample local food, please reserve it first. I think more organize your trip, easier you manage your time schedule. Hahaa.. but if you think that it is not necessary, it's okay due to many good restaurants in Stirling as well. :)
Then, enjoy your trip to Stirling. Let me know if this review helpful, I will appreciate it.
