Stirling

A view from the esplanade of Stirling Castle looking towards the Abbey Craig where the Wallace Monument, built in 1861, marks the spot where William Wallace and Andrew Moray are said to have lain in wait before the battle of Stirling Bridge against an English army in 1297. The wooden bridge which featured in the battle stood just upstream from the mediaeval stone bridge (c.1500) visible in the lower left-hand corner of this picture. In 1746, one of the arches of the stone bridge was deliberately blown up to prevent the Jacobite army crossing the river to reach the town and the castle.
