Walk without a visit to the sights The city of Stirling is located in the central part of Scotland on the hills that rise above the picturesque valley of the River Forth. This is the smallest settlement in the country. The name of the city comes from the Celtic words: "ster" - mountain, "lin" - river. The city, located on a hill, made it possible to view territories around and about stretching for many kilometers. Back in the days of the Roman Empire when the British Isles were captured by troops, the local area attracted the interest of Roman rulers.
