About the William Wallace Way
Beginning and ending in the historic City of Stirling, this route links some haunts of Wallace, Scotland’s 13th century national hero, some fascinating villages around the Carse of Stirling, and some wonderful panoramic viewpoints of the surrounding landscape. The varied route of 60 odd miles or so, with its castles, monuments, woods and riversides will certainly be memorable.

Guided West Highland Way - Brief Itinerary:
Meet: Stirling train station at 09:30 or C-N-Do Scotland office at 09.45.
Return: Stirling at approximately 17:00
Day 1: From an auspicious start at the site of William Wallace's most famous victory, the battle of Stirling Bridge, our route climbs up via the Beheading Stone to the Castle, probably the most magnificent of Scotland’s castles, and our first amazing view. From there drop down to weave a way over the flats and across the hillside to reach the pretty village of Gargunnock (~9mls / 14km).
Day 2: From there via highways and byways and generally following the foot of the Gargunnock escarpment, we head for Kippen with its airy view across the Carse to the mountains beyond (~8mls / 13km).
Day 3: The character of the route changes as we drop down through Buchlyvie to cross Flanders Moss, the land of the Moss Lairds, into the National Park to reach Aberfoyle (~ 12mls / 19km).
Day 4: All change again as we cross the Mentieth Hills using the ancient trading, droving and raiding route dating back to Roman times, to reach the bustling village of Callander at the foot of the Highland Line (~10mls / 16km).
Day 5: Today's route is a pleasant and varied walk, finally following the River Teith to end at Doune Castle, a magnificent late 14th century courtyard castle, built for the Duke of Albany (~12mls / 19km).
Day 6: And finally weaving our way to and across the corner of the Ochil Hills to drop down surprisingly to Stirling University and the Wallace Monument (~9mls / 14km).
