This season, history comes to life at Stirling Castle with visits from our Living History performers!
As you explore this iconic castle, keep an eye out for our costumed performers who bring Scotland’s rich past vividly to life. Whether portraying medieval royalty, musicians and artisans, or everyday folk from centuries gone by, they’re here to share stories, answer questions, and pose for photos.
At Stirling Castle, meet characters from the royal court and learn about life in the Renaissance. Will you meet a musician, a seamstress, a noble, or the royal family themselves?
Each character is steeped in the history of the site they represent, offering a unique window into the lives, struggles, and triumphs of the people who shaped Scotland’s past.
When to visit: Living History performances will be taking place on selected dates throughout autumn and winter.
Living History is included in site admission, which is free for Historic Scotland Members. Not a Member? Join now to start enjoying benefits
