Stirling Castle, the seat of old-time kings
Stirling Castle, the seat of old-time kings, seen from ancient tilting ground below, Scotland, c1900. Situated on top of a volcanic outcrop known as Castle Rock, Stirling Castle is one of the largest castles in Scotland. Its strategic location meant that control of Stirling was militarily important and as a result the castle endured several sieges. The area at the bottom of Castle Rock may have been used for jousting (also known as tilting) during the Middle Ages. Stereocard. [Underwood & Underwood, c1900]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse of Stirling Castle, the majestic seat of old-time kings. Perched atop the volcanic outcrop known as Castle Rock in Scotland, this grand fortress stands tall and proud against the dramatic backdrop of cliffs and countryside. Its strategic location made it a crucial military stronghold throughout history, enduring numerous sieges. The photograph captures not only the imposing castle but also provides a unique perspective from below on the ancient tilting ground. This area may have witnessed thrilling jousting tournaments during medieval times when knights showcased their chivalry and skill on horseback. As we explore this monochrome image through our stereoscope card, we can almost hear echoes of centuries past reverberating through time. The sheer size and fortifications of Stirling Castle remind us of its significance in Scottish history. Intriguingly, amidst this historical setting lies a flock of sheep peacefully grazing nearby. Their presence adds an unexpected touch to this scene frozen in time—a reminder that life continues even within these storied walls. Stirling Castle remains an enduring symbol of Scotland's heritage and is now a popular tourist attraction for those seeking to immerse themselves in its rich history. Through this remarkable photograph by Underwood & Underwood, we are transported to an era long gone yet still alive within these stone walls.
