About this property
Built in 1854, this hotel was once the High School of Stirling. Less than 10 minutes’ walk from the city’s historic castle, it has an AA Rosette-awarded restaurant. Each room at Stirling Highland Hotel is bright and spacious, with satellite TV and facilities for making tea and coffee. The award-winning Scholars Restaurant serves traditional and international gourmet cuisine. Guests can also enjoy a range of drinks in the Headmaster’s Study Bar. Central Stirling can be reached in 5 minutes on foot, and the rail station is a 10-minute walk from the Highland Hotel. Stirling Bridge, where William Wallace once battled the English knights, is a 20-minute walk away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
