Who Built Stirling?

Architects and craftsmen constructed Stirling over many centuries. Although we do not always know who designed or constructed early buildings, from the later 19th century’ the architectural profession expanded and became very influential in the styles adopted. The distinctive buildings of the Victorian and Edwardian eras were designed by several notable architects such as John Allan and McLuckie & Walker.
