We had a great tour with our boys, it was fun to play against the Scottish teams

Storybook Stirling lies at one of
Scotland's most strategic sites and
has been at the heart of many
bloody and innuential connicts.
There's a hustle and bustle on the
historic streets and footpaths during
the day, but at night it all disappears
and twilight walks of the old town
can be magical.
In the right light and away from the
buzz of the retail calamity in the
centre, there's something a bit fairytale-like about Stirling.
The city is like a matchbox version of
nearby Edinburgh. It rivals the
countries capital for both history
and landscape. However, what it
lacks in big city lights, it makes up
with ample small town charm.
The town has a strong Rugby
Culture.
Stirling
County
RFC
regularly compete at the top end of
the Scottish Premiership, while their
youth section compete with the best
of the border clubs in having the
strongest set up in Scotland.
Stirling is the hidden gem of central
Scotland
and
certainly
worth
considering for your Caledonian
jaunt this touring season.
Stirling County RFC have
become one of our most
regular Scottish Clients.
We9ve been fortunate to take
their youth teams to France &
Italy in recent seasons.
As such, we9d be thrilled to oll
their club with tourists &
we9re sure that given the
good people there, the
visitors will be given a
royal welcome.
