Having been granted city status during the Golden Jubilee
celebrations in 2002, Stirling is Scotland's smallest city, but has
an enthralling wealth of architectural and historic heritage that
would be the envy of much larger places in the country. Stirling's
heritage dates from the thirteenth century, when it was granted a
royal charter and became a significant medieval settlement. Its
strategic importance as the 'Gateway to the Highlands' also made it
the much-fought over 'Cockpit of Scotland' and it has been witness
to many of the most significant battles in Scottish history. Today,
Stirling is a bustling and charming historic city that retains much
of its ancient character and architectural quality. Using old
postcards, Stirling The Postcard Collection shows how the city has
changed and evolved over the years. These postcards are an
invaluable visual record of a place's past and provide a
fascinating insight into the world of our ancestors. The old
postcards of Stirling celebrate the town's civic achievements and
distinctive character in the form of public buildings, principal
streets, parks, railway stations and historic landmarks.
