Sports through time at Stirling Castle

Step back in time and explore the various sports practised at Stirling Castle throughout time! From football to ‘real tennis’, trunk bending and falconry, join us to learn about the fascinating history behind some lost sports and some still practised today. The activity consists of a 30-minute tour, a 20-minute object-handling session, and a 30-minute juggling workshop.

To book, please contact the learning team at: sc.learning@HES.scot, including in your email the number of participants and their name (with ages if they are children), the session you would like to book, and a contact phone number. The activity is free of charge and includes entrance to the castle. Accessibility: One of the tour stops is down quite a steep set of stairs. Please mention in your email if you have any accessibility concerns or mobility restrictions and we will do our best to provide a suitable alternative.
