Car Hire Stirling

Stirling is a historic city in the heart of Scotland. Famed as the 'Gateway to the Highlands' it acts a border between the lowlands and rugged highland areas of Scotland. As such it has been strategically important for centuries. A Budget hire car will allow you to get the best from the city and the surrounding area, whether you decide to head to the Eastern Coast, tour the Lowlands or head into the beautiful Highlands, having your own means of transport is a way of travelling at your own leisure, in comfort.

Stirling is most famous for the castle that looks over the city and the surrounding area. This large fortress sitting atop a rocky crag stands testament to the city's strategic importance. The natural defensibility of the castle thanks to the rocky outcrop made it the ideal base to police much of central Scotland. The stunning views of the Highlands from the castle entice the traveller to head out into this outstandingly beautiful area.

Added to the castle is the medieval old town that will transport visitors back in time. The old town jail is well worth a visit that gives at least some impression of the life of a nineteenth century prisoner. Remember, if travelling with young children to enquire about Budget's child seat hire to ensure your legislative requirements are met.

Stirling can be considered somewhat of a nationalistic capital for Scotland. Fans of the film Braveheart will love visiting the National Wallace Monument. This impressive tower stands as homage to this thirteenth century Scottish hero. The hero of Stirling Bridge, regarded to be Wallace's greatest victory acted as a reminder to the English of the hardiness and resilience of their Scottish foes. Today visitors can see Wallace's sword, an impressive ancient claymore supposedly used by the Scottish rebel. Nearby is another nationalistic attraction; the Bannockburn Heritage Centre. The site of Scotland's most famous battle it provides a unique insight into this pivotal clash in the war for Scotland's independence. If this amount of driving may seem too much for one, make sure you enquire about adding another driver to your hire package when booking.
