We are taking the train the Stirling for a Day Trip from Glasgow. We want to go to the castle and Wallace Monument, besides walking around town.
I’m sure I can find a taxi to take me to the Castle, but can I find one at the Castle or at the Wallace Monument? Are the Ubers in Stirling? Thanks!

You certainly won't get a taxi just passing the Wallace monument. You would have to call one but then a bus passes every half hour to Stirling railway station.
At least as of 11 months ago Uber did not have a licence to operate in Stirling.
That probably won't stop them from sending someone to you from outside the town.

I was at Stirling last month. I saw taxis bringing people to the castle so I'm sure you can hail one to bring you back down. (Of course, this doesn't guarantee anything.) I'd suggest bringing the phone number of a taxi service with you just in case.
It's a serious walk uphill from the town to the castle. But then it's a walk downhill from the castle to the town.
By the way, when I was at Stirling, the computer system went down and they couldn't take credit cards. Only cash.
