We had a trip to Stirling castle today, never been before and I highly recommend it - it's a much bigger site than I thought and you could easily lose four or so hours there. The castle is the home of the Regimental Museum of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and this monument to the men who fell in the Boer War is right by the entrance.
No Boer wargaming going on at the moment but I hope to return to it in the autumn.
Never been to Stirling Bridge but with 'The Bridge' and 'The Burn' nearby it's a bit daunting for a Sassenach.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the Boer War re-start in the Autumn I shall regard that as a promise!
Ok, now I’ll have to make it happen!
DeleteStirling castle is always worth a visit Ian…
ReplyDeleteOf course the most memorable thing about the place is that my Great Grandfather was stationed there and my Grandmother was born there….😁
All the best. Aly
That is very impressive Aly, my own grandmother was born in the Gorbals!
DeleteStirling Castle is a goodie and well worth the time, and as my father served with the Argylls in WW2 it's a win win for me!
ReplyDeleteThe Regimental museum was really well presented, probably the best I've seen.
