Castle Stirling is located on a high rocky
crag that is almost as impressive as Edinburgh Castle. While the
present version of the castle is only about 500 years, there has been a
stronghold on this site for almost 1000 years!

This is one of the older
parts of the castle.

At this point of time, there were
actually 3 rainbows in the sky at one time. I couldn't
capture all three at once due to their spacing, but I thought this one
was interesting. This is one of the cannons located inside the
front gate of Stirling Castle.

Behold! The new King and
Queen of Scotland!

This
statue was mounted on the outside of one of the older buildings of
Stirling Castle and is just begging for a funny caption. I'm thinking
something in terms of a Michael Jackson jab.

Stephen felt it was appropriate to
wear his kilt to the Wallace Monument. Here he is next to the
Wallace Sword itself! I enjoyed our visit because I got to climb
the numerous and steep steps right behind my kilted man. :-)
