The Stirling City Pass saves you money and is easy to use. Each pass is valid for one calendar day and is simply scanned at each experience to gain entry.
Your pass activates when you enter your first experience during your visit. We always advise customers to start using their pass first thing in the morning as from then on it works on a calendar day basis, not 24-hour period. The Stirling City Pass does not include fast track access, and you can use it only once per experience.
If planning to do the Wallace monument, Stirling Castle and the Old Jail it’s definitely worth buying a pass and all worth a visit

I used my Stirling city pass when visiting the city last weekend. We had a great time! We saw loads of sights including visiting the castle and the monument. The jail next to the castle was a real highlight and is also included!
