Hey guys here in Stirling Scotland behind me is the William Wallace monument dedicated when built
500 years after the Battle of Stirling Bridge where the Scottish forces led by William
Wallace and others defeated the English forces here in the valley in front of me were humping
it from the main city center. Tomorrow we shall visit the castle of Stirling but today we're
heading up the spill and another hill where the monument is located I think the top Tower
is going to be closed due to the windy weather might not seem like it here in the town but up
in the hill here behind me it is extremely windy but there are some rooms we're going
to check out inside that have some historical artifacts and information so glad to be here
let's go ahead and keep moving and we'll keep you posted. The tower was built in the years
1861 to 1865 the monument stands on the abbey Craig from where legend says that
William Wallace observed King Edward I's army before the Battle of Stirling Bridge
I'm at the most medieval church in all of Scotland the Church of the Holy Rood were in 1567 King
James the first was crowned here when he became King of Scotland so it's a famous Church we're
going to go inside and after that, we're gonna go to the castle of course that castles what
sterling is mainly known for although there are many historical locations in the city but we're
going to go inside and check out this amazing Church. The foundation of the Church goes back
to the year 1129 and it was here in 1567 that King James 6 was crowned King of Scots.
I just arrived
the Stirling Castle here is a famous castle that's located between the Highlands and lowlands here in
Scotland which is an important strategic location throughout history many amazing events took place
here and of course this was a residence of Queen Mary of Scots and also King James the sixth
Now we're in the medieval Hall which is the largest Hall and all of Scotland it could
hold up to 500 guests and even James the 6th to celebrate the birth of his
son rigged up a boat inside the hall and served fish to his guests out of the boat.
