Old Fallin, Cowie and Plean
The villages of Fallin, Cowie and Plean owed their existence to coal but, as Guthrie Hutton shows, there was much more to village life than mining. Away from the pit the men played football or bowls and if musical, they played in the pipe band or the silver band. All these activities, the people, their homes and the shops that were at the heart of the village are among the many well captioned photographs in this book.

Stirling Castle
The volcanic crag that dominates Stirling was probably fortified from ancient times, but the importance of Stirling Castle as a royal residence peaked in the 16th century. Around 1500, James IV added new buildings including the vast Great Hall. The elegant Chapel Royal was built by James VI in 1594. But the heart of Stirling Castle is the spectacular Palace, commissioned by James V in the 1530s. Its exuberant design drew on the fashions of the European Renaissance to express James's power and sophistication. Following a major programme of research, Historic Scotland has re-presented the Palace interiors as they might have looked when James V's grand scheme was completed.This book also includes a guide to Argyll's Lodging and Mar's Wark, grand residences occupied by major nobles near castle.
