| School holiday tip | Late August is the sweet spot for English/Welsh visitors: Scottish schools are back by mid-August while England/Wales are still on holiday. Early July is the Scottish local peak, so go midweek. |
| Best ages | About 5+; steps and uneven ground, so check pram access |
| If it rains | Mixed: walls and courtyards are outdoors, some rooms give shelter |
| Money saver | Check membership value (English Heritage, National Trust, HES, Cadw); family tickets usually beat singles. |
| Top tips | Tower on Abbey Craig above Stirling telling the story of William Wallace, with his sword on display. |
