About this Event

Nestled between Stirling Castle and the Church of the Holy Rude lies Stirling’s Old Town Cemetery — a place full of stories you might miss on your own. This Jacobite‑themed walk explores how the rising shaped the people, monuments, and buildings connected to these historic grounds.

Please meet at the main entrance of the Church of the Holy Rude just before 2 pm. If you arrive early, you can enjoy a coffee at Legends at Cowanes — and receive a 10% discount when you show your event ticket. Legends is located in the Guild Hall of Cowanes Hospital.

We’ll stick to the footpaths, but sturdy footwear and clothing suitable for unpredictable weather are recommended.

Please note that there is no parking at the Church. Limited street parking is available nearby, and parking meter charges apply.


Donation-Based Entry Info:

Our events run on a donation basis, with a suggested contribution of £5 per person. Eventbrite only allows one ticket per donation, but don't worry — we’ve got you covered:

If you donate £10, we’ll assume two people are attending. £15 = three people, and so on. No need to book multiple tickets — just donate the total amount for your group, and we’ll count you in accordingly!

Thank you for supporting our charity — your contributions help us keep these events going.

This event is organised by Stirling Heritage Alliance.
