"he who holds stirling, holds scotland"

river forth



sunday we go to prettypretty Stirling



first through the old town (not very old)




enroute to the castle, we stop by the church of the holy rude, where james VI, son of mary queen of scots, was crowned king



stained glass


to the castle!


tapestry



then to argyll's lodging


off the beaten track to find the beheading stone,

which we didnt find.


we find tellytubby land instead.
green green grass and flowers so bright they look fake.





we cross the old bridge of stirling.


old bridge, stirling



lunch @ corrieri's
fantastic pasta




(william) wallace monument


disgustingly narrow and winding steps.



3 of us, breathless





(ruins of) cambuskenneth abbey



enroute to cambuskenneth abbey
