about Stirling
Stirling (Sruighlea
in Gaelic) is a city in Central Scotland, in the
district of Stirling.
Stirling is an ancient town, clustered around
a large castle and medieval old-town. It is a
centre for government, retail, and light industry.
Its population (as of the 2001 census) was 45,115.
A former capital of Scotland,
Stirling was known as a Royal Burgh
until 2002 when, as part of Queen Elizabeth's
Golden Jubilee, Stirling was granted city status.
Stirling has been strategically significant since
at least the Roman occupation of Britain, due
to its easily defensible hill (latterly the site
of Stirling Castle) and its commanding position
beside the River Forth. A ford, and later bridge,
of the river at Stirling brought the city wealth
and influence, as did its port. Major battles
in Scotland's long conflict with England took
place at the Stirling Bridge in 1297 and at the
nearby village of Bannockburn in 1314.
The University of Stirling opened
in a 1967 greenfield site outside the town. It
has grown into a major research centre, attracting
students from nearly 80 countries.
