A different throwback thursday this week, looking back to October 2017 when we spent a few days in Scotland. One of the places we visited was Stirling.
The approach to Stirling is impressive with this incredible view of Stirling Castle perched on top of the cliff. Its position was important in the line of defence and the town was granted a Royal Charter in the 12th century. It was witness to battles against the English during the Wars of Independence, including The Battle of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn.
Gorgeous photos. I would live to go back and visit Stirling, I last went when I was a child and only have vague recollections of the castle.

Thanks for sharing these, Cathy💜 They are breathtaking in addition to being historic. I visited Scotland many years ago, a small village near Castle Douglas, and fell in love with the country.

I always think it must have been the same architect who designed Edinburgh Castle, it’s so similar!

Yes, possibly, it’s quite like Bamburgh too.
