The town developed as a spa resort in the 19th century when visitors to the Trossachs began to increase. Authors Robert Louis Stevenson and Charles Dickens were regular visitors at the height of the resort’s popularity. Many of its original fine Victorian villas and public buildings are preserved, evidence of its once prosperous past.

This pocket of Scotland is steeped in the past, featuring attractions such as the grand Royal Palace of Stirling Castle, and Bannockburn, where one of Scotland's most defining battles took place. Others will make you feel in the moment, such as coming face-to-face with elephants and lions at Blair Drummond Safari Park, or feeling the wind on your face as you scale a mountain in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
