Why Is Stirling Castle famous?

Stirling Castle is an iconic landmark in Scotland and one of the most important castles in the country. It is located on a volcanic crag overlooking Stirling city, which makes it easily visible from miles away. The castle was built by King Alexander I of Scotland between 1110 and 1114 as a royal residence for his family, making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Scotland. Over time, Stirling Castle has played an integral role in Scottish history.
