Stirling Castle

Yesterday was St. Andrews day here in Scotland so all the castles had special activities and free admission. So we decided (well, really, I decided and dragged Shawn and the children along. Ha ha!) to go up to Stirling on the train and check out the castle and sites. It was absolutely freezing (for here anyhow....I may not get much sympathy from all you folk in Canada who are covered in snow). We had a good time anyhow and enjoyed our day. Here are some photos from Stirling Castle and Argyll’s Lodging, which is "Scotland’s most splendid and complete example of a 17th century townhouse".

We found a very interesting old jail on the way up to the castle
