Stirling is a city in central Scotland. The market town, surrounded by rich farmland, grew up connecting the royal citadel, the medieval old town with its merchants and tradesmen, the bridge and the port. ocated on the River Forth, Stirling is the administrative centre for the Stirling council area, and is traditionally the county town of Stirlingshire. Proverbially it is the strategically important Gateway to the Highlands. It has been said that Stirling, like a huge brooch clasps Highlands and Lowlands together. Similarly he who holds Stirling, holds Scotland is often quoted. Stirling's key position as the lowest bridging point of the River Forth before it broadens towards the Firth of Forth, made it a focal point for travel north or south.
Once the capital of Scotland, Stirling is visually dominated by Stirling Castle. Stirling also has a medieval parish church, the Church of the Holy Rude, where, on 29 July 1567, the infant James VI was anointed King of Scots by the Bishop of Orkney with the service concluding after a sermon by John Knox.[14] The poet King was educated by George Buchanan and grew up in Stirling. He was later also crowned King of England and Ireland on 25 July 1603, bringing closer the countries of the United Kingdom. Modern Stirling is a centre for local government, higher education, tourism, retail, and industry.
Stirling is renowned as the Gateway to the Highlands and is generally regarded as occupying a strategic position at the point where the flatter, largely undulating Scottish Lowlands meet the rugged slopes of the Highlands along the Highland Boundary Fault. Top of the Town consists of Broad Street, Castle Wynd, Ballengeich Pass, Lower Castle Hill Road, Darnley Street, Baker Street ( formerly Baxters St) and St Mary's Wynd. These streets all lead up to Stirling Castle and are the favourite haunt of tourists who stop off at the Old Town Jail, Mar's Wark, Argyll's Lodging and the castle. Ballengeich Pass leads to the graveyard at Ballengeich and the Castle Wynd winds past the old graveyard. The Top of the Town from Broad Street upwards is renowned for its cobblestoned roads, and cars can be heard rattling over the cobblestones on the way down. Craft shops and tourist-focused shops are evident on the way up and once at the top, panoramic views are available across Stirling and beyond. Other Areas of Stirling include :

Old Photographs Stirling Central Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Stirling, Scottish Gaelic: Sruighlea, a city in central Scotland, 26 miles north east of Glasgow and 37 miles north west of the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. At the end of the 18th century Stirling began to grow geographically. For centuries Stirling had been limited to the slope of the hill below the castle. In the late 18th century growth spread to the Port Street and Dumbarton Road area. Major streets in Stirling include; Broad Street, Castle Wynd, Ballengeich Pass, Lower Castle Hill Road, Darnley Street, Baker Street, formerly Baxters St, St John Street and St Mary's Wynd. These streets all lead up to Stirling Castle and are the favourite haunt of tourists who stop off at the Old Town Jail, Mar's Wark, Argyll's Lodging and the castle. Ballengeich Pass leads to the graveyard at Ballengeich and the Castle Wynd winds past the old graveyard. The Top of the Town from Broad Street upwards is renowned for its cobblestoned roads, and cars can be heard rattling over the cobblestones on the way down. Craft shops and tourist focused shops are evident on the way up and once at the top, panoramic views are available across Stirling and beyond. The National Wallace Monument, generally known as the Wallace Monument, is a tower standing on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig. The Battle of Stirling Bridge was a battle of the First War of Scottish Independence. On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andy Murry and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth. The Battle of Bannockburn (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Allt nam Bànag or Blàr Allt a' Bhonnaich) on 23 and 24 June 1314 was a Scottish victory by King of Scots Robert the Bruce against the army of King Edward II of England in the First War of Scottish Independence. Stirling was first connected to the Scottish Central Railway in 1848. Lines were subsequently opened by the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway in 1853, and by the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway to Balloch Central three years later. Through services to/from the Callander and Oban Railway also served the station from 1870. The current station buildings were opened in 1916 following a major rebuild by the Caledonian Railway. Trains operate north to Dunblane, three trains per hour, to Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen hourly, Inverness, four trains per day, south west to Glasgow Queen Street, three trains per hour, and east to Edinburgh Waverley, half hourly. The service to Alloa and Dunfermine was withdrawn in October 1968, but the reopening of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link partially restored that service with an hourly service from Glasgow to Alloa as an extension of the Croy Line services.

Easter Sunday Ballengeich Cemetery Stirling Scotland
Tour Scotland Easter Sunday travel video of Ballengeich Cemetery below the castle in Stirling. Ballengeich Cemetery was opened in 1888 to relieve pressure on the older Valley Cemetery and Mar’s Wark Garden. There are excellent views of Stirling Castle which lies close by to the west. There is also access to the walks on the Gowane Hills. Ballengeich is the old name for the small valley between the cemetery and the castle. As in other cemeteries, an area was set aside for the burials of people who did not pay for a family burial lair. Stirling Castle dominates the view in the background. There are no grave markers in the free ground at the lower end of the Ballengeich Cemetery

Stirling Old Cemetery, Scotland, UK, May 2014 by Sheila
Description
Stirling's Old Town Cemetary & Scotlands Largest Pyramid
The Old Town Cemetery is situated at the Top of the Town in Stirling amidst a constellation of world renowned tourist sites. Indeed, The Esplanade of Stirling Castle forms the eastern boundary of the site. The cemetery expanded from the original Holy Rude Kirkyard between 1857-59 into the adjacent Valley and Mars Wark Garden. The site of the Drummond Pleasure Ground was purchased in 1862.
Overall panoramic views can be gained from the cemetery across the carse of the River Forth. All of these features have been influential in the design development. The essence of the site is as a didactic landscape which celebrates the establishment of Presbyterianism in Scotland. This is a unique landscape with no other cemetery in Britain laid out to convey this message. The site is of outstanding Cultural, Scenic, Historical and Architectural value as well as containing outstanding examples of Works of Art.
Council Bids for Old Town Cemetery Cash
Wednesday, 24th September, 2003
RESTORATION of Stirling's historic Old Town Cemetery is gathering pace.
Stirling Council's Community and Economic Development Committee has given the green light for a funding application to be submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund to help restore the 18th century cemetery to its former glory.
Vice-Chair of the Community & Economic Development Committee John Paterson said: We need to ensure that the work is carried out in a sensitive way, striking a balance between the interests of visitors and tourist with that of local residents. These cemeteries are of enormous national and local historical interest and attract many thousands of visitors each year and it's important that they're safe, informative and sustainable.
The bid is the next stage in the £1.9m Restoration and Interpretation of the Old Town Cemetery following extensive consultation with local residents. Work to restore and repair many of the oldest headstones in the cemetery is already being carried out by the Council's groundbreaking Memorial Inspection & Repair Programme.
The outstanding heritage site within Stirling's Town Conservation area in the Top of the Town contains three category B listed Buildings; the Valley Cemetery, Martyr's Monument, the Star Pyramid and the Church of the Holy Rude's Old Churchyard.
Buried in the cemetery is a wide variety people who have had a profound effect both locally and nationally these include scientists, doctors, grocers, weavers and journalists. The cemetery at the foot of Stirling Castle attracts many local people as well as visitors from across the world, hoping to trace their ancestors.
As the cemetery is still an important community asset, the restoration programme has been developed to allow for more community involvement with the creation of a Community Garden, Family History Project and Friends Group. New jobs and training opportunities will also be created for local people during the restoration and when implementing the Interpretation programme.
The Interpretation Programme will include training programmes, volunteering, educational opportunities and visitor facilities. With increasing interest locally, nationally and internationally in tracing ancestors the cemetery could be used to develop courses and classes in family history search skills.

Stirling
Stirling (Scots: Stirlin; Scottish Gaelic: Sruighlea [ˈs̪t̪ruʝlə]) is the largest city in Central Scotland. The city is clustered around a large fortress and medieval old-town. Stirling is the administrative centre for the Stirling council area. The city is located several kilometres to the west of the mouth of the River Forth. Historically it was strategically important as the Gateway to the Highlands, with its position near the Highland Boundary Fault between the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands, indeed, it has been described as the brooch which clasps the Highlands and the Lowlands together. Its historical position as the nearest crossing of the Forth to the river mouth meant that many of its visitors were in fact invaders. The beast of Stirling is the wolf, which it shares with Rome. According to legend, when Stirling was under attack from Viking invaders, a wolf howled, alerting the townspeople in time to save the town. It is also claimed that the last wolf in Scotland was killed in Stirling.

Meaning / Story behind the song:
When we first heard Rachel Platten's Fight Song we were inspired by its message. In a world where we too often talk about our differences, we have at least one thing in common. We all struggle. Not in the same way, nor at the same level, but we all want a fighting chance. And we all share in one gift: The will to make the most of our lives. To take what we've been given and turn it into something better could be considered the sentient measuring stick of success. But to do so seldom is simple and more often requires we fight. Not against each other. But against the current threatening to drown the ambition in us.
There is a tremendous purpose in struggle. It is when the struggle becomes so fierce that we must fight to swim or sink. John Newton, who penned Amazing Grace, worked on a slave trader ship and condoned inhuman atrocities. As his ship was on the verge of being torn apart in a violent storm he called out for Grace. Once his feet were again planted on firm soil he determined to change. His covenant was written into these words,
I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind, but now I see.
Grace is the defining moment when we face and fight a monster poised to define us or destroy us.
This song and video for us were a struggle, but a beautifully defining one. We chose the Scottish culture to depict the dichotomy between Grace and struggle. Who else is tough enough and yet delicate enough to don a kilt in battle? And the Scottish pipe and drum are the ultimate conveyors of melody and cadence. One represents Grace, the other the indomitable fight. Our dream was to film one of the most iconic castles on the Earth, Eilean Donan Castle in Dornie, Scotland.
Grace somehow made this video possible. We had to postpone our trip to Scotland several times, and when we could no longer postpone we had to leap in faith because... READ THE FULL STORY HERE:
