Set high on its striking volcanic rock, Stirling Castle has been the scene of some of the most dramatic events in Scottish history, culminating in the unsuccessful siege by Bonnie Prince Charlie 200 years ago. It was the last siege of a castle on the British mainland. This text provides the reader with a tour of this historical site and evokes the changing life of the castle and its human dramas.

The royal family ceased to use Stirling after James VI, and in latter times it was headquarters for various groups of soldiers, and it therefore appears that the interior has not been preserved to reflect its history as a palace. It appears that only parts of it are open, although there are some recreations, of the kitchen, for example, that are reproduced here.
In lieu of this, the book contains a number of charming drawings recreating the Queen's chamber in the time of Mary of Guise, or the lavish celebrations for the birth of Prince Henry, James VI's oldest son.
The book contains numerous shots of the exterior of the building and the surrounding area, along with drawings of the probable historic views. ( )
