From Edinburgh to Stirling takes fifty minutes by train and the scenery is really nothing for me. I think I have seen quite a lot in Scotland so I am really excited anymore.
Stirling is really small but needs a lot of energy for me to keep going. The buildings were built along the hills and therefore all I have seen were long hill routes. Stirling Castle is located on the highest place so when I reached there I could get a nice view of the city. The castle is also a nice spot to people to enjoy the Wallace Monument tower because it is opposite from the castle. I asked the staff about the way to there. However, they told I should take bus instead of walking there. If I really want to walk there, they would be fine but it will take me two hours to there. I gave up the idea at once because I think my two feet could not stand anymore. Recently, I have been walking for long time and I don’t want to torture myself.
Stirling Castle is also nice but compare to Edinburgh Castle , I think this one is kind small. It has small garden which provide enough space for children to play. No wonder it was a good place to kings and queen to enjoy their childhood.
Inside the castle, something are rebuilt in past few years. The ticket cost 8.5 pounds but it included another rich businessman house. Visiting the castle and the house are really great and it really need time to take time to go th The staffs in these two places are really helpful to solve the visitors’ problems. There is a church which was given throne to King of Scotland sixth long ago. The church is also really fantastic. Interior of the church are made of a lot of wood and the most impressive one is the wooden ceiling. The one here is really different from Europe . In UK , there are a lot of tombs around the church and there are some famous people buried here. I met a gentleman outside of the church and he explains the word “hospital” is misused nowadays. Through his explanation I knew what hospital was for. Because of hospital, we had a long talk about religion. He is such an open-mind person and love to share different opinion with me.
When I back to hostel, I had two new roommates who are from Sweden . Both of them are out of expectation because not so beautiful.
