Room 9 took a trip to Stirling Castle in the heart of Scotland. They have been studying Knights and Castles this term and wanted to see what a real castle was like. They saw a statue of King Robert the Bruce outside the castle and also in the distance they could see the Wallace monument.
Cooking in the castle was done by servants and they often had to prepare huge amounts of food to feed the King and his guests.
