Stirling
In Person
This beehive bastion on the Old Town Wall, behind Allan’s Primary School, dates from the 1500’s. It was converted from a gunpowder store into a Doocot in the 1700’s and was renovated in 2003. The Old Town Wall is constructed directly onto the rock which, in many places, is only just below the ground surface. Three gun loops are visible from the south side of the wall.
