Old Town Jail
A Historic Site in Stirling
Historic
Old Town Jail stands at the heart of the city's historic quarter. If the outside was forbidding and grim - then it didn't get any better inside. The Victorian reformers practised what they preached - which wasn't exactly comforting for the poor inmates. 'Coarse food; a dress of shame; hard, incessant, irksome labour; a planned and regulated and unrelenting exclusion of happiness and comfort' was their prescription for the unfortunate souls detained within these walls. Nowadays The Old Town Jail is an intriguing attraction for visitors to Stirling - and the perfect starting point for exploring the oldest part of the city. * Meet the prison warden, the Victorian reformer, Stirling's notorious
hangman, and the convict determined to escape. Fantastic live prison tours * Prison Beastie Hunt - just for children! * Audio Tour in 5 languages * Look out from the Rooftop Viewpoint - for a fantastic view of Stirling and the countryside

Private House Stays
I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
