Stirling

Stirling Essentials

Stirling’s historic core is defined by its strategic position between the Lowlands and Highlands. This collection features the medieval Church of the Holy Rude, the site of King James VI's coronation, and the Renaissance ruins of Mar’s Wark. The Old Town is home to preserved 17th-century architecture like Argyll’s Lodging and the Victorian Old Town Jail. From the bronze Robert the Bruce Monument overlooking the battlefield to the world’s oldest football at the Smith Art Gallery, these sites preserve Scotland’s royal and military heritage.
