STIRLING CASTLE SITS HIGH UP on top of a hill over looking the town of Stirling.
| Entering Stirling Castle
| As you enter you can see the area between the inner wall and the outer wall. Two walls were built for extra protection from outside attacks.
| Cheri standing in the courtyard of the castle as we entered.

This is the Palace. We just love this building. It is our favorite. The garden area here is very pretty too.
| Looking now away from the palace towards the path that took us to where the next exhibition was.
| Kitchen area. Nice display.
