In my tour to Scotland, we visited Stirling Castle. Carrie loved
Beaumaris in Wales, but I would fall in love with this wonderful
castle.
Situated above the city, Stirling Castle had a great point to
see approaching armies. This |
|
|
wondrous
castle did indeed have a very strategic location. I guess
what I liked most about the castle was the defense walls. |
 |
| Long
walls surrounded the castle. These walls had walkways on them
and ports from which the battery of cannons could defend the
castle within the walls. |
|

|
From the walls of the castle the Firth of Forth can be seen. The
Wallace Monument, built in the 1800's, can also be seen, from
the walls of the castle. |
| The walls were built to protect the Queen of
Scots. Wallace and Robert the Bruce tried to take over this castle. Note:
Robert the Bruce was the first King of Scotland. |
