Strivelin: The Rock and the Bridge, 1300

This is Stirling at the height of its medieval strategic role: the royal castle crowns a volcanic crag above the lowest reliable crossing of the River Forth. The walk follows the river and the burgh's steep spine of houses and narrow wynds up to the rock, looks across to Cambuskenneth Abbey, and crosses the busy stone bridge into the carse and the King's Park.

33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Stirling as it stood in 1300 (“Stirling”).
