May 28, 2025 Final walk around Stirling, Scotland before heading home.
Here is the link for the Scotland House/condo (click on me)
Stirling was the perfect location for exploring lower Scotland. Our time here had come to a close and although I wanted to go home, a part of me wanted to stay longer.
 |
| Stirling sits around 56 degrees N on the globe. That's the same as the southern edge of Hudson Bay in North America. This picture out our bedroom window is time stamped 4:37 a.m! |
 |
| This is the same view out the bedroom window time stamped 6:13 a.m. |
 |
| Old downtown Stirling where we walked frequently. |
 |
| Janna's Bakery on the left side of the photo where I was introduced to fruit scones with jam and clotted cream! |
 |
| A church we passed frequently on our way to buy Yum Yums (a glazed donut of sorts). |
 |
| Not sure what this was originally, but now it is a city building. |
 |
| Another church. |
 |
| Residential architecture from the Victorian period. |
 |
| We are carrying the last of our souvenirs and pastries. 😢 |
 |
| The neighborhood of our Airbnb. |
 |
| The neighborhood. |
 |
| Crossing the green space outside our Airbnb. |
 |
| We are on the bottom of the left end of this multi family building. |
 |
| Ally, our host, kept a tidy yard. |
Later in the day, Rod and I walked up to Stirling Castle for a final look.
 |
| Approaching Church of the Holy Rude at the end of the street view. |
 |
| Old buildings near the castle. |
 |
| Mar's Wark is the building on the left of the photo with the double snow cone roof line. |
 |
| What's left of Mar's Wark today. The double snow cone towers are still standing minus the peaks. |
We took a brief walk through the castle, this time without our cameras out, and simply absorbed the experience. If you listen really closely, sometimes you can hear the past. 😉
 |
| Our walk home by way of a path that runs along the base of the castle wall to town and our neighborhood. |
 |
| Looking in the other direction on the same path. The boulders must have come down recently because the blacktop is complete under them. |
Tonight is our last night sleeping in Scotland. 😢
