... 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. The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre is a ten minute drive from the park, while the Forth and Clyde Canal, with the iconic “Kelpies” at the Helix Park and “Falkirk Wheel” are just twenty minutes by car. We’ve award winning toilets and showers, a well-loved and well-used children’s playpark, a laundry, undercover cooking shelters and dish washing facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available across the park. You can order newspapers, rolls and milk for delivery to the park each day or drive to a major supermarket within 5 minutes. A short walk will take you to the Blairmains Farm Shop and Coffee Bothy. Regular bus services stop outside the park and Stirling Railway Station is just over 3 miles. There are world- class sporting and fitness facilities at the neighbouring University of Stirling, while the nearby “Peak” sports village has a swimming pool, ice rink and climbing wall. Whether you are looking for a base to explore the heart of Central Scotland, or a place with breathtaking local scenery for a relaxing weekend, Witches Craig Caravan and Camping Park has something for everybody. call 01786 474947 Information Witches Craig Caravan and Camping Park is open from April to October.

We wished we had stayed for our whole holiday - which is exactly what we will do next time!” “A family friendly atmosphere, yours is not a ‘churn ‘em in, churn ‘em out’ mentality but a genuine ‘happy to have you here’ approach which we really appreciated.” “It is by far the nicest campsite we visited in the UK during our 3 week holiday. We felt more than welcome.” “Just spent the weekend on your site and loved it! Thought we would let you know how much we appreciate the site and all the hours of hard toil you must put into keeping it so great.” “This was our first time camping at your site and the friendliness and helpfulness of your staff made it a great experience. Thank you and we will be back!” “A beautifully located site with generous spacious pitches, great scenery and overall a peaceful location in which to relax.” “All the facilities are second-to-none, and the play area for children is the best we’ve come across!” “Despite being family-friendly with children enjoying riding bikes and playing in total safety, it is all so well-run that couples should not be put off, because there is no disturbance or unruly behaviour. It is a perfect balance!” visit www.witchescraig.co.uk The Witches Craig In the seventeenth century Scotland was gripped by a fear of witches. The ruins of the nearby Logie Kirk (Church) date back to 1178 and today are an eerie place filled with mystery. It is said that a coven of witches was based in the hills behind the kirk, the most prominent of which is Carly Crag, or the Witches Craig. An eighteenth century minister at Logie is said to have spotted the Devil dancing there with his witches; the Devil was given away by the cloven hooves he was unable to hide. The presence of witches all along the Ochils is remembered today with place names such as Warlock Glen and Devil’s Loch. The most likely place to spot witches today is in the caravan and camping park reception where you can buy toy witches as a souvenir of your stay! Local Attractions Stirling is a regional shopping centre with a large shopping mall, bustling city centre and nearby retail parks. Most major supermarkets can be found in the city. There is also a ten pin bowling alley, cinema multiplex, MacRobert Theatre and Tolbooth Theatre. Golfers are spoilt for choice, with seven golf courses within five miles of the park. If you like fishing, there are many options on the nearby rivers and lochs. There are many great restaurants and cafes within a short drive and there are takeaways that will deliver to the park. History is at the heart of this part of Scotland, with two key battles fought in the area. In 1297, William Wallace defeated the English at the battle of Stirling Bridge and in 1314 Robert the Bruce repeated the victory to become King of Scotland; today you can visit the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre, updated in the 700th anniversary year with a cutting edge 3D battle recreation, and the National Wallace Monument which was completed in 1869. Many of the Stewart Kings and Queens stayed in Stirling Castle and James VI (later James I of England) was crowned in the Church of the Holy Rude. The Belltower is all that survives of the nearby Cambuskenneth Abbey, which was founded over one thousand years ago. The spa town of Bridge of Allan, with boutique shops and microbreweries offers a change of pace from the city, as does the cathedral city of Dunblane. Along the “hillfoots” of the Ochils you’ll find Castle Campbell, Alloa Tower, Alva Glen and Dollar Glen. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are less than an hour away from Witches Craig, as is Perth, St Andrews, Falkirk and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Blair Drummond Safari Park is just nine miles away. ... Scenery ... History ...

  • 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.

  • Cambuskenneth Abbey and Its Estate: Lands, Resources and Rights

    Cambuskenneth Abbey and Its Estate: Lands, Resources and Rights

    Cambuskenneth Abbey and Its Estate: Lands, Resources and Rights Richard Oram Of the monasteries of the various continental religious orders founded by King David I (1124-53), Cambuskenneth Abbey is one of the least well known and least well understood. Some reasons for this relative obscurity are obvious: beyond the magnificent thirteenth-century bell-tower which survives to its full height, the abbey lacks the impressive architectural remains such as draw visitors to Jedburgh or Melrose and which stimulate interest amongst scholars of architectural history. There is only so much enthusiasm that can be generated by a series of low walls and foundations. One consequence of this absence of popular interest, however, has been an associated lack of modern scholarly interest in the abbey and its history. A further deterrent to research may lie in the rather dismissive treatment given to the abbey’s documentary record. Although the form in which the bulk of those records survives – a 1535 copy of the original texts gathered into a single register, each authenticated by the Clerk Register and the whole volume confirmed by the great seal of King James V1 – is widely recognised as a unique document and of great interest for the light which it sheds on early renaissance legal practice in Scotland, its contents have been labelled as ‘a little disappointing’.2 Admittedly, when compared with the contents of some cartularies – such as those of Arbroath, Dunfermline, Kelso, Melrose or Paisley – there is at first sight little material that illustrates Cambuskenneth’s place in national or regional history, or on its place in the society and economy of central Scotland.
