点评:It’s been years since I’ve visited either Edinburgh or Stirling castles. My memories were that Stirling was better than Edinburgh. I went to Edinburgh castle last November.
Stirling is so much better!
There’s far more to see and feels more like a castle. True, the original was trashed by Robert the Bruce so it’s a later medieval rebuild by the Stuart kings for whom money seemed to be no object. The renovation of the great hall is brilliant despite what some people think.
All the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I was made welcome from start to finish.
I’d recommend the tours. They are free and start every 30mins lasting about 50mins. Big shout out to David who took us around sharing his insights and stories in such a great way. Great guy.
Yes, it’s a bit hilly but not as bad as some places I’ve visited.
Also check out the tapestry making exhibition. OMG. Such dedication by the weavers. Amazing.
翻译:我已经好几年没去过爱丁堡城堡或斯特灵城堡了。我的记忆是斯特灵比爱丁堡好。去年十一月我去了爱丁堡城堡。
斯特灵城堡比爱丁堡好太多了!
那里可看的东西更多,也更有城堡的感觉。没错,最初的城堡被罗伯特·布鲁斯摧毁了,所以现在这座是后来斯图亚特王朝国王在中世纪重建的,他们似乎不差钱。尽管有些人不这么认为,但大厅的翻新非常出色。
所有工作人员都非常友好且知识渊博。从我进入城堡到离开,他们都热情接待了我。
我推荐参加导览团。导览团是免费的,每30分钟一班,大约50分钟。特别感谢大卫,他带领我们参观,并以非常精彩的方式分享了他的见解和故事。他真是个很棒的人。
是的,城堡有点坡度,但比我去过的一些地方要好得多。
也一定要去看看挂毯制作展览。我的天哪!织工们真是太敬业了。太令人惊叹了。
