Period Architecture in Stirling
Stirling's architectural heritage is dominated by its magnificent castle and historic old town. The Medieval and Renaissance architecture around the castle gives way to Georgian townhouses and Victorian expansion below. Georgian architecture (1714-1830) is found in areas like King Street. Victorian development (1837-1901) expanded the town with substantial villas and commercial buildings. Local materials include local sandstone (both grey and golden varieties), with Scottish slate for roofing. The dramatic hilltop setting, with the castle overlooking the plain, creates an exceptionally impressive townscape.
