I visited Old Town Jail on Sunday 15th February and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Stirling, and the free parking made the visit even more convenient and stress-free.
The experience itself was both fun and informative. There’s so much fascinating history to take in, with plenty to read and explore throughout the building. It’s clear that a lot of effort has gone into presenting the jail’s past in an engaging and accessible way.
A special mention to Emily, who was absolutely brilliant in her role — she really brought the stories to life and made the visit memorable. The other gentleman who performed was also excellent (sorry I didn’t catch his name!), and together they made the experience entertaining as well as educational.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit and well worth the time. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Stirling!

Great wee find! Staff are amazingly friendly, informative, and helpful. Heather's tour was brilliant. She really draws you in to her characters.
And ready to recommend a great local lunch spot! Darnley's was a fantastic shout. Thank you, guys.

You will need an hour to complete your visit. The first half is led by David, who skillfully tells the story of the jail by acting characters from the time in a very humourous and exciting way. You are then invited to spend the rest of your visit independently exploring the spaces and displays. There's a great view of Stirling from the top of the jail.
