Stirling - 9 stops - par 28

Banking a ball off the gray stone of Stirling Castle requires a steady wing and a bit of luck. This map is the real city, where a quick 9-hole round plays out on the actual streets. The holes are built from the local attractions, and Skip knows every crack in the pavement along this 3.3 mi walk.

HOW IT WORKS

The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.

Putt to the pin

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE STIRLING ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle is a castle located in Stirling. It is a scheduled monument that sits atop an intrusive crag, which forms part of the Stirling Sill geological formation. The position is quite striking, as the castle is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs. This location was historically strategic; until the 1890s, the castle guarded the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth. I've always found the heights of those cliffs impressive, though they make for a very long climb if you're on foot. When you are visiting, take a moment to look at the rock beneath the walls to see the geology that makes this spot so unique. It is a commanding view of the surrounding area that makes it easy to see why the site was chosen for a fortification.

Smith Art Gallery & Museum

Let me show you the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum. This art and local history museum in Stirling, Scotland, provides a look at the area's heritage. It was founded in 1874 at the bequest of artist Thomas Stuart Smith. Before it became the gallery you see today, the site was known as the Smith Institute. I've always found it a great spot to get your bearings in the city. Whether you are interested in the fine arts or the stories of the local people, there is plenty to see here. You can pick out a variety of exhibits that showcase the history of the region and the work of various artists.

Church of the Holy Rude

The Church of the Holy Rude is the medieval parish church of Stirling, Scotland. It is the second oldest building in the city after Stirling Castle. While the church was founded in 1129 during the reign of David I, the earliest part of the current structure dates from the 15th century. Over time, the building expanded as the chancel and tower were added in the 16th century. The church is named after the Holy Rood, a relic of the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified. It is now recognized as a category A listed building. You can see the progression of the architecture from the medieval parish roots to the later additions of the tower and chancel that define its current shape.
