Stirling Part I - 9/29-30/2006

Our next stop, Stirling, a beautiful spot, where heroes of Scotland are held in continuous honor.
We stayed two nights in the Burnsview B&B, across from a little park with statues of Robbie Burns and Rob Roy.




A short walk from there took us to the Church of the Holy Rude, where John Knox preached and is buried, and where James VI of Scotland was crowned James I of England.

John Knox' statue above his grave.





A little walk further brings us to Stirling Castle, home to many Scottish kings, but little used since the time of the Union of the kingdoms.
