Hiking
Great for a bit of exercise and to see the impressive bedrock that Stirling Castle is built on.
At one end is a hill with great views and the beheading stone.

Great path to link Kings Knot with Stirling Castle, The Beheading Stone, the Old Cemetery and Stirling Old Town. A very enjoyable walk with lots of historical interest.
