Stirling Castle Inseparably Connected

Recently the English government
sent some German prisoners of war to
Stirling castle. The ancient fortress
is again a prison; again th« “eye of

tion's safety. Stirling Is only a few
hours’ ride from Glasgow, but It Is
a journey from the nineteenth century
to the middle ages.
The castle, on
