Awesome experience - Ed was timely and set the tour at a good pace. He pointed out landmarks that we would not have otherwise known. He is knowledgeable on his tours, keeps the tour interesting, and gives honest recommendations for sights to see.

Worth the hike up - This monument to William Wallace was amazing. We quite enjoyed the walk up to the monument. I think to many people miss the experience by taking the shuttle. The climb up was full of surprises, we never realized there were 3 floor before you get to the top. The views are phenomenal once you are up top. The gift shop in the tower was great and I would recommend picking up a wolf Wallace beer for later especially if you walked up, you earned it.

Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle, Linlithgow - Had an awesome day touring Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle, and Linlithgow with Ed! He showed up early, knew tons about Scottish history, and made the trip super fun and relaxed. Ed’s stories brought each place to life, and he was just great company all around. Would definitely recommend booking a tour with him if you want a memorable, hassle-free experience!

One of those magical places... - It was a magical experience to be on top of the Wallace Monument with the histroy behind this place in mind. Every one of the 246 is worth it. Try to go there early when its not busy.

Definitely worth a visit - Easy to find and park. We took the bus up to the monument and it was breakfast. Entrance was quick & friendly (as was the bus driver) and whilst I thought I may only make it to the first level (bad knee) I found that they weren’t nearly as bad as I thought and managed it to the top with just a short catch of breath on each level. Yes, it was a bit tight when passing but everyone was really sensible and patient and the views from the top were definitely worth the climb

Super guide and super sights… - Our tour guide Ed Silinis was fabulous! He knew the castles inside and out, was engaging and even surprised us when my girls had a special request. I was so happy to see Scotland with his guidance. He also become fed things we needed prior to the trip such as the museum passes and gave helpful travel tips. Seemless and no stress.

Worth the climb - Amazing and a once in a lifetime place to visit. The walk up to the monument wasn't hard but steep in some places, there is a shuttle bus that also takes you up and down if you think you might struggle. The inside steps of the monument are very small and a bit claustrophobic, especially when crossing people on the way and down, but it is definitely worth the views when you do make it to the top. The stairs are broken up by different floors, allowing you to catch your breath and gain some historical knowledge whilst you recover.

Most if you interested in the history of Scotland - It is a beautiful place to remember the greatest hero of Scotland. It is educational, you can learn about the battle and about Wallace. Shuttle bus is very convinient (we used it to go up), but the walking trail is beautiful, worth to use. Car park is decent size, cafe has tasty food and drink.

The Wallace Monument Experience - We had luck with a virtually wind free and sunny day for the visit in September 2025. There is a complimentary mini-bus trip the half mile to the top, from the restaurant, up a steep hill to the Monument. The views from the base of the monument, on a clear day are stunning. The top, at 67 metres is closed on windy days, so choose carefully, and book the early slots. The narrow spiral staircase takes some navigating. If you dinnae like small spaces, perhaps only visit the first room. Passing other guests going in the other direction on the narrow 246 steps tight spiral stone staircase needs care. There are three experience rooms with loads of information about the monument and the battles fought in the nearby river bend in each.
