Stirling - 26 July





Stirling is famous for it's castle and centuries of important history.
The photos show a few of the many houses and statues located near the base of the castle.

The wooden sculpture is interesting to come across. A tree fell down on the back walk and one of the local artists decided to carve it into a sculpture of a dragon, animals and warrior.
The statue is of Rob Roy who was of some importance to the area.
My parents have lived in Stirling since 1965. I last visited 3 years ago for my brother's funeral. In that short period of time there has been some changes to the landscape. e.g. Our old high school is now a pile of dirt with the new one located in what was the old cricket field.
