Stirling Castle (4)
Swinging round to the north-east side of the castle, the distant view is of the the Touch and Gargunnock Hills.  The flat area to the right, now good arable land, was in medieval times, the beginning of the Flanders Moss.  With the invention of gunpowder, it was to all intents and purposes impossible for an army to pass either into or out of the Highlands, without coming within a cannon shot of Stirling Castle.
