    ... Scenery ... History ... Mystery www.witchescraig.co.uk Witches Craig The AA Campsite of the Year 2015 Winner for Scotland is situated at the foot of the Ochil Hills under the watchful gaze of the nearby National Wallace Monument. Visit Scotland have graded Witches Craig “an exceptional 5 star” touring park. Our park has won many other awards in recent years, including “Loo of the Year” and a David Bellamy “Gold” Conservation award. More pleasing than any award is the huge number of repeat customers and great reviews we receive in person and on review websites. We are particularly proud of the many hand drawn pictures of witches and toy witches that line the walls of our reception, gifted by families to mark a great stay. For almost forty years our family run, family friendly site has been a gateway to the Highlands and a base for exploring historic Stirling. Nearby you’ll also discover the scenic Trossachs, the rolling hills of Perthshire, the tranquil beaches of the Kingdom of Fife and much more. More than that, Witches Craig is in itself a destination – a peaceful, relaxing part of Central Scotland where every pitch has stunning views of the Ochil Hills and across to the historic city of Stirling. If you’re feeling active, you can access the Ochil Hills direct from the park, wander along an ancient roadway to the village of Blairlogie, or walk in the footsteps of William Wallace to the nearby Abbey Craig. For a more relaxing stroll you can see lots of wildlife around the Stirling University campus loch.

In January of 2018 we learned that the plan to film in Cambusbarron had officially been abandoned. “The Outlander production team earlier sought permission to build [the Fraser’s Ridge] set in woods outside Cambusbarron, near Stirling. “However, this plan is no longer going ahead.” https://www.scotsman.com/news/outlander-cast-and-crew-return-to-fife-village-1-4669949 It is unclear whether the Outlander production team withdrew their request, or whether the Cambusbarron Community Council denied them permission to film in the area. Basically, it doesn’t matter. Cambusbarron is NOT an Outlander Season Four film site. To avoid renumbering all subsequent chapters, we replaced the original, full-length Cambusbarron chapter with a starkly abbreviated version in Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four. Having spent weeks researching and writing it, however, we hated the idea of simply discarding it. So, we didn’t! Beginning on the next page, you’ll find this chapter’s original, 2017 manuscript.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

  • William Wallace Information

    William Wallace Information

    Early Life • William Wallace was born around 1270. • Some historians say he was born in Elderslie in Renfrewshire. • Others say he was born in Derwent Park in Kilmarnock. • It is generally agreed that he was born to a minor noble family. We don’t know much about his early life. William the Warrior • In 1297, Wallace attacked Lanark, killing an English sheriff. • This created support amongst local people and many joined the fight to drive the English out of areas around Perth and Fife. Stirling Bridge • In September 1297, Wallace fought against the English at Stirling Bridge. • The English army was much larger but the Scots won due to clever tactics! • A lot of Scots were encouraged by this victory. The English hold on Scotland was weakened. • Following this battle, William began to send raiding parties into England. William Knighted Sometime between the end of 1297 and the beginning of 1298, William was knighted by John Balliol. He was appointed ‘Guardian of the Kingdom’. John Balliol was the King of Scotland between 1292 and 1296. Battle of Falkirk • Wallace again led an army against King Edward’s army at Falkirk in July 1298. • This time, the Scots were defeated. • William Wallace was able to escape. Wallace Abroad • Having escaped from Falkirk and resigned the guardianship, Wallace went abroad. • Significantly, he went to France to try and gain some support for Scotland’s cause. While Wallace Is Away… • Meanwhile, back in Scotland, Scottish leaders, Robert the Bruce and John Comyn accepted truces with Edward. • Edward put a price on Wallace’s head, offering money to anyone who captured or killed him.
