You know Stirling for its kings, queens, battles and castles. This Halloween, discover the Stirling you don't usually hear about.

Explore the Holy Rude Cemetery, hear about the grave robbers who disturbed the dead, and uncover the stories behind Stirling’s witch trials, plague and death. And because this is Halloween, there are a few ghosts and legends along the way too, including the mysterious Green Lady.
