Tickets start from approximately £45.90 for a one-way journey. Passengers can book now for trips this month or throughout the summer, with a full timetable expected on 27 July. The journey takes around six hours, allowing travellers to relax and enjoy the scenic views.
Explore Stirling's Charm
Stirling, situated in central Scotland on the River Forth, is known as the 'gateway to the Highlands'. Its charming Old Town features cobbled streets, quaint cafés, and a historic jail. Key attractions include Stirling Castle, a clifftop fortress that was the childhood home of Mary, Queen of Scots. One TripAdvisor reviewer commented: 'If you have to pick between Edinburgh and Stirling castles to visit, pick Stirling. The exhibits there better explain the history and everyday life of castle residents.'
Visitors can also climb the National Wallace Monument's 246 steps for panoramic views of the Forth Valley, or explore the Battle of Bannockburn site. The city is surrounded by green spaces and walking trails, with Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park nearby.
