J. Lockhart Esqr. Mr. J McMichan Ebenezer Johnstone Esqr. Statistical Account |
017.03 | An extensive park lying south of the town of Stirling, rising gently from the east towards the west and terminates in a steep slope abruptly of about one hundred feet in height. It is chiefly used at present, and for many years past, in drilling the soldiers of the depots at the Castle. Here the races are held, the course being one mile and a quarter in length. There is part of it under tillage: that portion inside the race-course. "Southwest of the castle lies a large park, surrounded with a stone wall, called the King's Park, where the court hunted deer kept in it." Nimmo's History of Stirlingshire |
