Some 60 km (37 mi) north of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, lies Stirling, nestled near the Highland Boundary Fault between the Scottish Lowlands and the Highlands. This Scottish city developed around its most famous landmark Stirling Castle, which is possibly one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Scotland. The city’s Old Town, still protected by the original walls, is another equally interesting place to visit. Camping in a yurt in the city’s vicinity is one of the top activities preferred by travellers. Popular camping spots in the area include villages such as Lochearnhead, Methven, and St Martins, and towns such as Bridge of Earn, Cupar, and Midlothian. Scroll down for the top yurts near Stirling, UK, where you can enjoy an amazing glamping experience up close and personal with nature.
