 | Star
Pyramid 2 1152 x 864 349K |
Another photograph of the Star Pyramid. The silver birch tree is not yet in leaf; its delicate branches contrast with the stone structure. |
 | Wallace
Monument from Stirling Castle 1152 x 864 179K |
The mist has cleared and the Ochil Hills are clearly visible behind Abbey Craig and the monument. To the left of the River Forth is Causewayhead Road and a disused branch of the main Edinburgh to Dunblane railway line. |
 | Expansion 1152 x 864 165K |
Back at Stirling railway station where a large notice proclaims "Town Centre Expansion Development". Stirling already has exceptionally good shopping facilities. Watch this space for forthcoming developments coming beside the Forth. |
 | Tyre
on platform 1024 x 768 159K |
This tractor tyre has been painted white with red, yellow and blue treads. It decorates the opposite platform and may be some kind of art exhibit. Great things are afoot nearby so it may not be here for much longer. |

The decorative turret of this building caught my eye when walking from the railway station towards the university. It looks as if the Costcutter store has failed here. Not surprising considering the neighbourhood of highly desirable properties. |

At the eastern end of the town, not far from Stirling University, stands this disused building. It's a listed building, where The Beatles once played back in the early '60s. Thanks to Stuart Rorrison for that info. |
 | Bridge

A close-up view of the main door - with a tree now growing from its base. |
 | Bridge

In contrast with the three previous pictures, this image gives a more flattering conventional view. The Westerton Arms is across the road from the psychedelic lamp post. |
