STIRLING CASTLE
This was our second time visiting Stirling Castle. We also visited the castle last year. However, since our daughter was with us this year we revisited areas of the castle we had seen last year. This year the castle had a new exhibition. This exhibition was dedicated to the Stewart monarchy. The Stewart King James the V, Mary Queen of Scots' father, built Stirling Castle for his new wife. Below you will find photos of this exhibition and several new photos of the castle that we had not taken last year. This castle is among our favorites. Yes, we like it MUCH better than Edinburgh Castle too.
>>> Do visit our 2003 Castle Stirling Castle photos.
We have 70 photos there on display.
Many showing the inside of the castle.
