Duration: 7 hours, 30 minutes
Glasgow Cathedral
Castle Street, Cathedral Precinct, Glasgow, G4 0QZ
We depart Greenock Ocean Terminal for a 40 minute drive along the scenic south shore of the River Clyde to Glasgow
and to the spot where Scotland’s largest city first began to take shape. The Cathedral is a magnificent building dedicated to St Kentigern, also known as St Mungo, who founded Glasgow. Built in the 1100s, the Cathedral contains St Mungo’s tomb and across many centuries countless pilgrims have travelled from far and wide to his shrine. Today, it’s the most complete medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland.
Behind the Cathedral is the Necropolis, a Victorian garden cemetery modelled on Père-Lachaise in Paris. Full of tombs and graves so tall, that they dwarf visitors. It is on a low but very prominent hill with wonderful views of the south side of the city. Across the road is the oldest house in Glasgow, Provand’s Lordship built in 1471. It is one of just four surviving medieval buildings in Glasgow.

National Wallace Monument
Hillfoots Road, Abbey Craig, Stirling, FK9 5LF
It’s a 10 minute drive to the Wallace Monument, the route is down the long steep hill from the Castle passing through the old town and then past Old Stirling Bridge. The Bridge was built in the 1400s replacing a succession of timber bridges. In 1297 William Wallace defeated Edward 1's forces at The Battle of Stirling Bridge. Today the bridge is one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.
The Wallace Monument is 220 feet high and sited on top of Abbey Craig hill above the fields where Wallace led his troops to victory in The Battle of Stirling Bridge. There are 276 steps to the top, but its well worth the climb.
