Why Is Stirling Castle famous?

Stirling Castle is an iconic landmark in Scotland and one of the most important castles in the country. It is located on a volcanic crag overlooking Stirling city, which makes it easily visible from miles away.

The castle was built by King Alexander I of Scotland between 1110 and 1114 as a royal residence for his family, making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Scotland. Over time, Stirling Castle has played an integral role in Scottish history – hosting several key battles during wars with England and serving as the primary royal residence until 1603.

Today it stands proudly at its original site, providing visitors with insight into centuries-old Scottish architecture and culture.
