Description
This is a view from inside Stirling Castle looking out over the town of Stirling and toward the William Wallace Monument.
The first record of Stirling Castle dates from around 1110, when King Alexander I dedicated a chapel here. Stirling Castle, located in Stirling, is one of the largest and most important castles, both historically and architecturally, in Scotland. The castle sits atop Castle Hill, an intrusive crag, which forms part of the Stirling Sill geological formation. It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding what was, until the 1930s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth, has made it an important fortification from the earliest times. Most of the principal buildings of the castle date from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Info from Wikipedia. 1995 photos scanned.
