More about this scene

It was at Stirling that both James II and James V were born and where Mary, Queen of Scots and James VI both lived for a number of years. Following defeat at the Battle of Dunbar, Major General David Leslie and several thousand survivors of his army took shelter in Stirling. The town eventually fell to General Monk. This photograph was taken looking towards Mar's Wark: dating from 1570, this uncompleted renaissance building was intended for use by the Earl of Mar who was Regent.

School Holidays
In the long summer holiday my friend and I would pack up our picnics and bike all the way to Stirling from Sauchie, then we would climb up the many, many steps to the top of the tower and enjoy the wonderful view over Stirling and all around the area. It was wonderful. There was such a wonderful feeling of freedom standing up there. I must visit it again when I come home for a visit from Norfolk.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
