Stirling Old Town Jail

Very nice tour of the old jail, first 30 minutes are with a guide that plays several characters from the past. Very informative and funny. Second 30 minutes is just you walking around. Only £14 pp as adults. Highly recommend even the walk up the hill.

We bought the Stirling City Pass for a day, and were able to get a tour on a Sunday for our family of 8. It was a surprisingly amazing experience and highly recommend. Our tour guide was a great performer and very animated. He provided excellent insights to the history of the jail in a captivating way. He promoted audience participation. It was worth going up the tower for the view of the city center.

Absolutely amazing experience ! Our guide was Adam and he was incredible ! Such a great performer and you really could feel history coming to life. He was also very kind to me after the tour, when he saw I was disabled and came to explain to me where the elevators where to make my visit easier for my mobility issues. The views from the tower are spectacular. Really worth a visit !

While travelling on a solo trip around Scotland with dogs I stumbled across this place and what an absolute find. I had a lovely day exploring, and David (the actor) is just incredible at his job. This is a tour of the old town jail with an interactive live actor for the first 15/20 mins or so. The staff were brilliant informing me of when loud noises and intense acting would come so I could make sure the dogs were moved out the way. It made what was a daunting experience on my own with the dogs a dream! What a good attraction!

So much fun. We did the performance your. It is not to be missed! David is splendid. We also did the Empty Cell escape room. Challenging and lots of fun. Highly recommend both the tour and an escape room.

There is an up hill walk to the castle, but just before the castle is the old gaol, it's worth a visit and the girl on the counter where you buy your tickets was very helpful, they have a tour which you can take with actors, you can also explore with the aid of a radio guide. Only half of the prison open, as the other half is now a business centre.

What a great experience. £14 per person (dog free of charge 🙌🏻) the tour with Dave was beyond fantastic he got so into character and the enthusiasm for each character oozed out of him. Enjoyed every second of it 🥰

Each ticket comes with a 20min guided immersive tour, then you’re free to explore the jail at your own pace. Our guide, Heather, acted out different personalities within the jail - her acting was really great and at times scary cause it was so real. Highly recommended
