Additional Information

Initialized by my canine companion, Molly, and myself, Freedom Tour Today is designed to extend a warm embrace to visitors at Stirling, expressing gratitude to those who choose to remember the heroes who sacrificed, battled, and survived the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

The astonishing number of tourists unacquainted with Wallace’s significant triumph at Stirling Bridge (absent in Braveheart) never fails to surprise me. Trek along the tracks taken by William Wallace and Andrew De Moray in their youth and revisit the Battle at its original location. Our dialogue will cover the prelude to the Battle, the key figures involved, as well as ongoing efforts to honor the Battle’s historical significance.

Additionally, we also offer a tour of Bannockburn Battlefield, showcasing Robert the Bruce’s most notable victory.

Freedom Tour Today serves as a heartfelt way for Molly and myself to usher in visitors, giving them an insight into why these historical landmarks and Scotland hold such profound significance to countless people. We thank you in advance.

Just brilliant. - Steve’s knowledge of The Stirling Bridge Battle is astounding. He sets the scene and creates an experience you won’t forget. He debunks all the incorrect tales, especially all the Braveheart lies.

Perfect! - Steve gave a great tour and went above and beyond to make it a rich and meaningful experience. He lives for the subject matter and imparts his knowledge and passion. He was kind enough to drive me back to the train station and continue the discussion at the local pub. I highly recommend the tours of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn!
