Course: River Forth meander at Stirling |
Stirling has grown
up around the castle built on the crag and tail volcanic vent in
the middle distance. The meaners of the Forth helped restrict growth
until relatively recent times. A study of OS maps would confirm
the site and the constriction of transport routes to this "lowest"
bridging point - an accolade which persisted until the construction
of the Forth Rail Bridge in 1890 and the Kincardine Road Bridge
in 1936. |
