Aye there is a road to the monument. Uphill.

PS. About the only interesting thing in Stirling (a dismal wee town) is the Peaky Blinders boozer.
Took the shuttle bus. Glad I visited, worth it for the views alone. Managed not to buy a replica William Wallace sword for £299.
Tactics wise I probably would have let a few more English cross the rickety old bridge before steaming in to cut them up but maybe I'm being picky.
Stirling Castle is worth a toddle round, great big car park where they let buses park but no motorhomes for some reason. The park and ride gets you up to a reasonable walking distance though.
The site on the Battle of Bannockburn is ok for a short visit. Nice latte and a millionaires shortbread.
Fun fact: Robert the Bruce defeated the Earl of Buchan at the Battle of Inverurie which took place at the summit of Barra Hill (Oldmeldrum) they had a bit of beef as it was the Earls cousin, John Comyn that the Bruce murdered in 1289 as he felt threatened by his claim to the throne.
The Earl got battered all over the shop and ran away to hide in England. Sounds like a right tw*t.
Was the Battle of Inverurie the same battle as the Battle of Barra.?
Did you do the virtual tour at Bannockburn
