♥ To provide a warm welcome for visitors to Bannockburn and Stirling.
♥ To offer an outdoor historical walking tour at Bannockburn Battlefield and Stirling Bridge.
♥ To thank people for remembering our great heroes and wishing them safe passage onward.
Each tour remembers all those who fought, died and survived on both sides at Stirling Bridge, Bannockburn, and throughout the Wars of Independence. The battles fought in and around Stirling 700 years ago were crucial to the Scottish way of life.
Freedom Tour Today allows you to walk with Wallace and relive Bruce’s greatest victory! Today the sites are peaceful and calming places to walk around and learn about the characters that kept Scotland Alive! In the 700 years since the battles, Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn remain in the hearts, not just of local people, but of people from all over the world who love Scotland. Wherever you are from, you are welcome to come along and enjoy a walk around Bannockburn Battlefield or the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
I love Scotland, Stirling and Bannockburn. Kim and I loved Molly. Sadly, we lost Molly on the 15th of February 2024. We miss her every day. Molly sent us Oatly and Ayla to ease the pain. Neither are ready to join us on tour yet, so you will have to make do with me for the time being. What I can guarantee, is that if you book one of our tours in 2025, your tour will come from a place of love for Scotland and for the World. We will also donate your fee to a good cause that supports the memory of King Robert the Bruce, James Douglas, William Wallace and Andrew De Moray through his membership of the Strathleven Arizans and the Society of William Wallace and being a Trustee of the Guardians of Scotland Trust. Any tips given on the day will be donated to one of our chosen charities.
Freedom Tour Today was established by Steven and Molly to Welcome the World. Soon after we appointed ourselves the Stirling Welcome Team. Now Oatly has taken up the mantle … https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5076407/stirling-welcome-team/
If you don’t join us on your journey this time, you are most welcome next visit.
Thank you and safe passage onward.
Yours Aye,
Steven and Molly.
I am a Fifer who lived in Bannockburn for 23 years but recently moved to Stirling. I have a keen interest in Scottish history and a desire to give everyone a warm welcome. I will entertain you with stories of the main characters and the small folk who influenced and took part in the Battle of Bannockburn. Molly and I walked at the Battlefield most days and it amazed us the number of visitors who spend less than 15 minutes at this Historic site. Rescuing Molly from the Dogs Trust in 2017 is the real inspiration behind Freedom Tour Today as the Battlefield at Bannockburn became Molly’s favourite place in the world.
Chatting with tourists on days off, it was surprising to discover that many had never heard of William Wallace’s greatest victory at Stirling Bridge. Freedom Tour Today is the perfect way for me to welcome visitors to Bannockburn and Stirling and learn more about why so many people are passionate about Scotland.
Each tour will cover the key factors that lead up to the battles, the main characters, the battles themselves, the aftermath, and the importance of the victory, then and now. I’m also very happy to spend time chatting and answering questions about the battles, the sites, and future developments in and around Bannockburn and Stirling, or simply great places to visit, eat or enjoy a beer in the local area. Please do ask questions. Whether you are here for the day, a week, or stay fairly local – you are all welcome.
Lastly, thank you for choosing Bannockburn, Stirling, and Scotland as your home or your holiday destination. If you are on a budget and money is a bit tight, please get in touch. We can look at a solution where you can donate any shortfall to one of our chosen charities when you are in a position to do so. Join Molly and me and we shall enjoy a Bannockburn/Stirling day to remember.
