Our Heritage Trails

Family Heritage Trail

We’ve worked with local artist David Galletly to create an illustrated family heritage trail for Stirling City Centre. Learn all about the history of the city and meet some interesting characters, including an unlucky child who has been locked up in the stocks and Scotland’s national animal! Answer some questions along the way so that you can complete a codebreaker word scramble.

You can pick-up the trail at The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Stirling Central Library, Stirling Old Town Jail and the Visit Scotland Stirling iCentre.

Who Built Stirling?

Stirling City Centre is full of grand and interesting buildings, but do you know who built them? Our new map ‘Who Built Stirling?’ highlights 26 key buildings in the city centre and introduces you to their architects.

Collect a map for free from the Visit Scotland Stirling iCentre.

Architects of Stirling: McLuckie & Walker and John Allan

Many of Stirling’s late 19th and early 20th century buildings were designed by two local architect firms: John Allan and McLuckie & Walker. Take a walk around the city centre to discover the stories
behind their buildings and appreciate the architecture of Stirling. 

Available to pick up for free from The Stirling Smith Museum & Art Gallery and Made in Stirling.
