One notable cemetery in Stirling is the Church of the Holy Rude Cemetery, which is adjacent to the Church of the Holy Rude. The church is located near Stirling Castle and is one of the oldest churches in Scotland, dating back to the 12th century. The cemetery contains graves and memorials dating from various periods in Scottish history, and it is the final resting place of several prominent figures.
Another cemetery in Stirling is the Valley Cemetery, which is located on the slopes below Stirling Castle. This cemetery has been in use since the 19th century and contains a mix of graves from different time periods.
While these cemeteries are not directly associated with Stirling Castle itself, they are part of the broader historical and cultural landscape of Stirling, and they may be of interest to visitors exploring the area’s history.
