More about this scene

One of Scotland's greatest royal fortresses, Stirling Castle was taken by William Wallace in 1297 but was surrendered to Edward I in August 1305 following a siege. The survivors of the garrison, commanded by Sir William Oliphant, were brought before Longshanks and made to kneel in supplication.

In the long summer holiday my friend and I would pack up our picnics and bike all the way to Stirling from Sauchie, then we would climb up the many, many steps to the top of the tower and enjoy the wonderful view over Stirling and all around the area. It was wonderful. There was such a wonderful feeling of freedom standing up there. I must visit it again when I come home for a visit from Norfolk.
