Our first weekend our group went to an about out of the Edinburgh to Stirling, a medieval town that's known as the "gateway to the highlands". We explored the city which was quaint and peaceful. Like in Edinburgh, the roads weren't planned and built as a grid but flowed with the contours of the landscape. I could feel how much of a difference this layout had as we ventured up the hill and felt protected from the wind. Stirling Castle was beautiful but my favorite attraction was the Wallace Monument because of all of the symbolism involved, it made me understand why William Wallace is regarded as the Scottish hero.
