Stirling...ancient
Scottish royal capital ...scene of epic victories...and home
to the University of Stirling, Europe’s most picturesque university
campus.
Set among 360 acres
of parkland estate, the rolling hills, wide loch, and abundance
of flora and fauna all combine to make Stirling a truly unique
campus location. Stroll round Loch Airthrey (our own private
loch); watch the rabbits, squirrels and ducks ramble undisturbed
under the shadow of the world famous Wallace Monument, a towering
tribute to Braveheart, Sir William Wallace... then remind yourself
that you are less than 45 minutes away from Glasglow and Edinburgh.
The University of Stirling offers an abundance of leisure opportunities
on campus. Immerse yourself in our 25 metre swimming pool, get
in the swing on our 9-hole golf course or let off team in the
sauna. The University of Stirling offers a superb range of accommodations
from the top of the range hotel accommodation of the Stirling
Management Centre right through to basic study bedrooms. The
University is also the home of the MacRobert Arts Centre. The
MacRobert Theatre in particular has a well-deserved reputation
for presenting ‘cutting edge’ programmes of drama, music and
dance, as well as showing major films. Off
campus, the ‘Scottish Heartlands’ offer some of the most popular
tourist attractions in the land - Stirling Castle, the Wallace
Monument, Loch Lomond, the Highland. Post-conference tourist
options will be available for prior booking.
