Impressions of Stirling pt. 2
(eclectic selection - 19 photographs)

^ Detail of Stirling's city wall where it merges with the rock of castle hill

^ View from the old bridge of Stirling over the river Forth (wide river bit)

^ ...if you wondered why the bridge over the Forth was that important in history (note the little dancing eddies like holes into the depth - they are *not* fixed in place!)

^ View across the Forth where it's narrow (the rampant cow is on the other side!)

^ The last remaining tower of Cambuskenneth Abbey (the rest was recycled for houses of the aristocracy during the reformation). Note the most left stone face: Apparently, Caspar, the friendly ghost (or Tweety) has a clergy past! ;)

^ You probably have to be a grain pollen allergic to see the drama in this picture...

^ ...and in this one.


^ Looking up to Abbeys Craig (the sister rock of Castle Hill)...

^ ...and the National Wallace Monument (much closer than from my B&B window), which I visited and didn't photograph, because the green stuff outside was so much more fascinating...

^ What can I say? I ♥ dramatic trees!

^ No, really!

^ Trinity thistle

^ Looking down from Abbeys Craig onto the river Forth and Stirling. You saw what's right under the edge in one of the photos above.

^ Beautiful & poisonous.

^ Camaraderie trees.

^ Oh, the tree drama!

^ Waiting for dark gnomes...

^ ...and down again (along one of the not-steep paths)
