May 2, 2025 Stirling, Scotland - Home base
Stirling is a nice central location from which we can explore much of Scotland. To drive from end to end of Scotland, would be about 6.25 hours by car. We won't see all of it. Happily, we are finding many sites and adventures close to our home base. Here is our first walk about the part of town near us.
 |
| We are situated in a neighborhood. These large structures might house 2-4 families depending on how they are divided inside. |
 |
| We are in one of these types of homes. We are on the bottom floor and the owners live above us. |
 |
| Our first cafe/pastry shop. I have been introduced to clotted cream! The barista recommended jam and clotted cream on my fruit scone and after tasting it, I said to myself, "Where have YOU been all my life!" |
 |
| A shot of Stirling. |
 |
| This reminded me of a similar billboard in one of the early Art Prize exhibits in GR. |
 |
| The public library. We haven't gone inside yet. |
 |
| An artist's rendition of Stirling. I put a blue dot (by Clare's pinky knuckle) where I think the Airbnb is and a red dot where we are going to walk to church on Sunday. |
 |
| There are nice foot trails all over. This one runs below Stirling Castle. |
 |
| A wood carving with description below. |

| More of the back walk below the castle. |

 |
| A wooden carving of a WWII bomb. |
 |
| Big rocks are made for climbing. |
 |
| This tiny milk jug cracked me up! Milk DOES come in larger containers, in case you're wondering. |
