Stirling Castle

Ok, pretty amazing. Let's just wander through.

Entry

Note flags at half staff due to death of a countess. Note empty pole as Earl not in residence.

Statue of Robert the Bruce.

Walls

Gardens

Narrow windows for shooting arrows while remaining protected.

Neat doors.

Even into ladies toilet.

Walkways 

Battlements

This view is of the Stirling Battle site and off in the distance is the memorial to William Wallace.

Some shots of buildings inside the walls.

We move indoors 

The Great Hall

And read this story about what they did in here.

The personal chambers.

I love this tapestry but did not know it lived here. Unicorns are very important and play a big role in the heraldry.

And even on the ceiling.

This room's ceiling was covered in people.

We had seen it all. Time to head back down the hill

and catch a train home.

Tomorrow we leave Scotland behind and start our tour of England in York.
