Secrets of Great British Castles

S01E05 Stirling Castle

Situated atop a volcanic rock that towers over the River Forth, Stirling has historically been one of Britain’s key castles. It serves as a protector of the Highlands, and its weathered walls have stood witness to a mix of brutality and honor, secrets, sorcery, betrayal, and assassination. Through on-site filming, sweeping aerial views, and compelling reenactments, Dan Jones explores the castle's rich history, sharing the tales of the formidable figures who have claimed ownership throughout the ages.
