Stirling Old Bridge over the River Forth

The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500s, replacing a succession of timber bridges. Undoubtedly the best-known of these was one that stood nearby in the 1290s, when Sir William Wallace and Sir Andrew Moray defeated Edward I’s forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. Quoted from Historic Environment Scotland.

"But if we stave on straight to the auld brig of Stirling, I'll lay my sword they let us pass unchallenged." From 'Kidnapped' by Robert Louis Stevenson.
