===Stirling===
Stirling is a short train journey from Glasgow or Edinburgh, which both have major airports. If you arrive at Edinburgh Airport take the Airlink 100 bus to Edinburgh Waverley train station. (It costs £3.50 and takes 25 minutes). A train ticket to Stirling costs about £7 and takes 50 minutes. If you arrive at Glasgow Airport take one of the many buses to Glasgow Queen Street train station. (It costs about £3 and takes 40 minutes). A train ticket to Stirling costs about £7 and the takes about 40 minutes.
Stirling is a small city and almost every bus goes to the University. It is famous for many battles against the English, like when Willaim Wallace (the movie Braveheart) defeated the English in 1297. The main attractions in town are the Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle (it just finished a big many year renovation), the Old Jail, Church of the Holy Rude, the ruins of Cambuskenneth Abbey and the Bannockburn Heritage Center (about the battle of 1314). The nearby village of Doune has a small castle (used in Monty Python) and a whiskey distillery, Dunblane has a cathedral, and Dollar has a hidden Castle Campbell. If you travel further, Loch Lomond is about 30 minutes away, and places like Glen Coe and Fort William (Ben Nevis) are famous for the scenery and history.
