Book excerpt: Excerpt from Penny Guide to Stirling, Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument, Bannockburn, &C Visitors having arrived in Stirling, the first and greatest attraction is Stirling Castle (no. 1 in map of the Four Chief Objects of Interest) By turning to bird's-eye Plan, tourists will have no difficulty in finding their way towards the Castle, and at the' same time noticing the chief streets and buildings of this historic town. Leaving the Railway Station, you pass up the Station Road, crossing over what at one time was the ground of the Blackfriars Monastery. At' the head of Station Road stands the Free North Church with spire, and the Arcade, which leads to Arcade Hall and King Street. Turning to the left, along Murray Place, you pass the Baptist Chapel and the North Established Church. A little further along King Street is reached. The corner building on the right is the British Linen Co.'s Bank, formerly Drummond's Tract Depot. From the foot of King Street the tramway oars start for Bridge of Allan and Wallace Monument. At the top of King Street stands the Burgh Buildings, with a fine statue of Sir William Wallace surmounting the entrance. Continue your walk straight up either of the streets, Baker Street or Spittal Street, which go right and left of the Burgh Buildings. There is a walk through the trees called the Back Walk, which runs parallel withthese two streets, and comes out at Stirling Castle. This can be entered to the left of Burgh Buildings by the corn-exchange. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
