| Stirling Castle is at the head of the historic old town off the M9. It is considered to be the grandest of all Scotland's Castles. The Castle's architecture is outstanding - the gatehouse and recently restored Great Hall of James IV, the marvellous Renaissance Palace of James V and the Chapel Royal of James VI.
The castle has strong links with Mary Queen of Scots. She was crowned in the Chapel in 1543 and narrowly escaped death by fire in 1561. Her son, the future James VI, was baptised here in 1566. There is a Medieval kitchens display and exhibition on life in the royal palace. |
