	Dunblane Cathedral Dating back in part to the 12th century, Dunblane Cathedral is one of Scotland’s few surviving medieval churches. Beyond the magnificent exterior, visitors can not fail to be enthralled by the stunning beauty that lies within.
	Stirling Castle Stirling Castle towers over some of the most important battlefield sites in Scotland’s history including Stirling Bridge, where William Wallace vanquished the English in 1297, and Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce defeated the same foe in 1314.
	Wallace Monument Standing 220 feet high atop Abbey Craig, two miles north of Stirling, the National Wallace Monument celebrates the life and achievements of Sir William Wallace.
