Yesterday was our class trip to the most important castle in Scotland, Stirling Castle.
We met Sir William who took us on our War Wolf Tour. He took us to Queen Anne’s garden where we saw the boulders that were fired by King Edward’s army. He spoke to us about the castle defenses, which included murder holes, very thick oak doors, the portcullis and the archers. He also told us the story of the Scots (played by Chloe) vs. King Edward (played by Liam). We could not believe how many times the castle went from the Scots to King Edward and back. Sir William also showed us the siege weapons, some of which were the ‘holy water sprinkler’, axes, crossbows and longbows and a variety of siege engines. Sir William talked an awful lot about executing us, luckily we made it out alive!
