Stirling has been the stage for many wars over the centuries, including 'the War of Independence', which is also why the city holds so many stories, myths and legends. Surely the most iconic landmark is the famous Stirling Castle, built on a rocky peak called Castle Hill, and consisting of buildings and architectural elements dating from the 14th to the 18th century.
