Bannockburn House was home to Sir Hugh Paterson, whose marriage to Jean Erskine, sister of the Earl of Mar, bound the family to the Jacobite cause. Conspiring with Mar in exile after 1715, his return saw Bannockburn House at the heart of Jacobite intrigue.
Thirty years later, it welcomed Charles Edward Stuart, the Bonnie Prince, during the ’45 Rising as the Jacobites laid siege to Stirling in January 1746, securing its place in one of Scotland’s most dramatic chapters.
The house's story did not end there. In the 19th century, Bannockburn House passed to the Wilson family, whose weaving enterprise transformed tartan from a Highland cloth into a worldwide emblem of Scottish identity. Their success forever entwined Bannockburn House once more with the fabric of Scotland’s story.
Your guide for this journey is head of the conservation and restoration effort, offering rare insights into both the hidden past and the future of the house.
This exclusive tour includes:
- A behind-the-scenes look at the rooms used during filming.
- Stories of rebellion, exile, and return that shaped the Jacobite era.
- An insider’s view into how one of Scotland’s finest surviving 17th-century houses is being saved for generations to come.
- Teas/Coffees included.
