| | | Stirling Castle Pictures #3
Gargoyle on the wall of the old Stewart palace. Thought to be a caricature of Mary of Guise, mother of Mary Queen of Scots. 
The castle well. 
Children listening to one of the castle guides. 
An attempt at an artistic view of the Wallace Monument!  
The famous Stirling Bridge across the Forth. 
Looking back at the castle as we left. 
These and other pictures can be seen at www.fotothing.com/cleftref

Wonderful pictures Trefor, thanks for posting these. I love the shot of Stirling bridge, as you never see it in the movies.

Thanks, McClef. Those are the kind of shots you don't get from a tourist bureau.
