Car park at Stirling Castle 1964

This archival photograph from 1964 captures the upper car park at Stirling Castle, offering a view of both the historic site’s visitors and the expansive landscape of the Stirling carse. Parked nearest to the camera is a light-coloured Ford Corsair, showcasing the mid-century automotive style common at Scottish tourist landmarks during the 1960s. Other period vehicles are visible further along the parking area, which is situated against the castle’s rugged stone defensive walls. In the background, the rolling green hills and distant peaks of the Trossachs provide a dramatic backdrop under a bright, clear sky. This factual record illustrates the early years of modern tourism at one of Scotland’s most significant royal fortresses.
