SCOTLAND: STIRLING.

Winter trip to STIRLING for a swift look at the Castle, "Robert the Bruce", "Rob Roy MacGregor" and "Rabbie Burns". From his 1904 writings author AR Hope Moncrieff recounts this tale about a Scottish coachman taking some early English tourists over the battlefield at nearby Bannockburn only to be informed by one of his party that Scotch folk were always boasting about their country but when they went south they were never in any hurry to get back again. The coachman's reply was brief: "There were thirty thousand of you lot came here and not many of you went back either!"
