| Stirling Castle. With the exception of the Outer Defences, most of Stirling Castle dates back to the 100 year period between 1496 and 1583. The Castle provided a home for Scottish Kings and Queens from the days of Alexander I (and probably earlier) until the Union of the Scottish and English Crowns under James VI. The view from the ramparts is stunning, the restorations beautiful, and the tapestry project of particular interest. | ||
