About Stirling

Stirling is a council area stretching from the city of Stirling in the heart of Scotland's central belt northward and westward into the Trossachs, the Breadalbane hills, and some of the most dramatic Highland landscape in the country.

The city of Stirling sits at the historic crossing point of the River Forth, the strategic gateway between the Lowlands and the Highlands — a position that made it one of the most fought-over places in Scottish history.

North of the city, the character changes rapidly: the lowland farmland of the Forth valley gives way to the lochs, forests, and mountains of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and further north to the remote glens of Breadalbane.

The council area takes in everything from suburban commuter towns like Bridge of Allan and Dunblane to Highland villages like Killin, Crianlarich, and Tyndrum — an extraordinary range of landscape and settlement within a single local authority.

Transport links are strong around the city, with the M9, M80, and several rail lines converging on Stirling, though the Highland communities to the north rely on the A84, A85, and the scenic West Highland railway line.
