📌 Earthworks in Stirling
★★
Gaze down from The Back Walk on the south side of Castle Rock in Stirling and you should be able to make out a strange series of geometric patterns in the flat grassland below. These impressive earthworks are part of the King’s Park – what was once a huge leisure ground laid out for Charles I’s Scottish coronation in 1633 – on which was carried out jousting, hunting and other activities. You can also explore the landscape at close quarters with access from Dumbarton Road, but the scale of the earthworks is best viewed from above.
