You're standing at Stirling Castle, one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland. Look at the rock it sits on. On three sides, steep cliffs drop away. It's ancient volcanic rock, shaped by glaciers. For centuries, whoever held this rock guarded the last place you could cross the River Forth before it reached the sea.
