Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's greatest castles, probably the most famous especially since "Braveheart" with Mel Gibson. Stirling Castle and Sir William Wallace played a very prominent role in Scotland's struggle for independence. The castle standing today is recorded to have been built between 1370 and 1750 in various stages. Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned here in 1543, as well as her son, James IV in 1566.
