The offer of free entry will run throughout 2021 with residents available to take part. The Monument is scheduled to reopen on Monday, April 26, meaning residents can now book their visit and plan their trip to the famous attraction. The iconic structure was recently showcased around the world when hosting a live fireworks display during BBC Scotland’s Hogmanay 2020 celebrations. Visitors can explore the Abbey Craig, with newly opened, expanded views, or climb the famous spiral staircase inside the Monument itself and take in the amazing scenery from the Crown. Stirling Council Senior Manager for Economic Development & Communities, Stuart Oliver, said: “The National Wallace Monument returned to Stirling Council control last year and, as a thank you and gift to our residents for their efforts and sacrifice over the past 12 months, we are offering them admission to one of Stirling’s premier tourist attractions free of charge.
