The full route of a new Stirling open-top bus tour has been revealed.
Midland Bluebird, owned by McGill’s, has revealed plans to start the Stirling Sightseer service from May 27.
A post on the Midland Bluebird website said: “We’re getting prepared to bring you a bright new way to experience all the incredible attractions of the historic city of Stirling.
“This hop-on, hop-off tour will connect all the famous sights of our great city including Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, and plenty more besides, with entertaining commentary along the way.”

A post on X has revealed the full route.
The service links Stirling Railway Station with Bridge of Allan, University of Stirling, Wallace Monument, Beheading Stone, Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Stirling Castle and back to the railway station.
There will be four buses an hour, running every 12 minutes each way.
It will run from May 27 until Sep 1.
There will be full commentary on board “to educate and entertain”.
The service comes after McGill’s launched a similar open-top bus tour in Dundee, which returned for its third year in March.
Tickets for the Dundee service cost £12 for adults, £9 for concessions and £6 for children aged 5-15.
Anyone buying a ticket for the Dundee tours can also enjoy unlimited travel on other Xplore Dundee buses.
It has yet to be confirmed if the same prices and ticket uses will apply in Stirling.
Midland Bluebird has been contacted for comment.
A Stirling Council spokesperson said: “We’ve just launched our 900th celebrations as a royal burgh and the Midland Bluebird hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus service adds even further to Stirling’s visitor offering.
“Our local businesses, bars, cafés and restaurants are also looking forward to welcoming the tourist bus and its passengers and offering the hospitality and service for which they are renowned.”
