THE BRAVEHEART DAY IN STIRLING (PERTH STOP-OVER)
The fifth day of your journey leads you to the origins of the movie Braveheart and two historical cities nearby.
Perth is all about history, shopping and events. Souvenir shopping here offers something special, because the city offers a set of unique and different products of very high quality that you can’t find anywhere else. What is interesting, is that there are many castles to visit, but the fine painted ceilings of the Huntingtower Castle is are something not to miss. If you have included bicycles to your camper rental, this is a great place to take them off of your camper’s bike rack. Local Kinnoull Hill with dramatic clifftops and the fine woodlands are great for cycling or walking.
After visiting Perth your camper rental journey continues to Stirling, previous capital of Scotland. It’s a great historical value and well known for Sir William Wallace, the first freedom fighter in Scotland. The movie “Braveheart” is based on the story of him, and you can find the National Wallace Monument in Stirling today.

You should definitely take a guided tour in the castle to learn about the interesting history and characters in details. Other great local attractions include the Blair Drummond Safari park, Stirling Smith art museum and finest townhouse in Scotland, the Argyll’s Lodging.
Sir William Wallace, or The Wallace, is by far one of the most powerful and recognized figures from Scottish history. He never got to be the King, he only fought two battles of which he lost the other one, but he´s still probably the best-known of all of Scotland's monarchs. His notable deeds took place over a short period of time before he resigned from his job, was betrayed and executed. The Wallace´s life is presented in the film Braveheart (1995) directed and starring by Mel Gibson as Wallace.
