Stirling Castle stands on an intrusive crag in Stirling, Scotland, defended by steep cliffs on three sides and long guarding the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth. Most of its principal buildings date from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Before the union with England it was one of the most used Scottish royal residences, the site of several coronations, including that of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1542. It is a scheduled monument managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
