Barnsdale House, Stirling, Stirling Bridge

14th century Stirling Bridge. Built to replace the wooden bridge fought over by William Wallace in defeating the English.

Monument to William Wallace, the original freedom fighter.

Built in 1861 the monument has 273 steps to the magnificent view of the Carse and the Forth, viewing the sites of six major battles which changed the course of Scottish, British and European history. This monument was erected in tribute to Wallace on Abbey Craig from where, in 1296, Wallace and Douglas watched and waited for the English to commit themselves to cross the wooden Stirling Bridge onto the boggy Causeway and annihilation.

Robert the Bruce: a statue with the image of King Robert taken from his skull. This is situated at the Bannockburn Heritage Centre, commemorating the re-capture of Stirling Castle in 1314. The Heritage Centre has a video display and artefacts from the time and is possibly on the position from which the Bruce successfully directed the battle against the English Army in which the Scottish army of 5000 defeated the cream of European chivalry with an army of 20,000 yeomen and cavalry of Edward II.

Stirling Castle on the near impregnable volcanic plug for centuries, guarding the only crossing to the North of Scotland and the Highlands. For many years there has been a fortification on this site dating back to before the Romans who built a bridge to the west of the current bridges.
