A Directory for the town of Stirling has often been called for by strangers and others, and is universally believed to be a desideratum which ought to be supplied. Other Scottish towns, possessing fewer natural attractions, and of immeasurably less historical note, as well as of less importance even in a commercial point of view, have for years been issuing their several Directories, which we believe have been found of much general utility for business purposes, and are now reckoned among the indispensables of their respective localities. It has, therefore, as well as for other reasons which more immediately concern ourselves as a community, been matter of surprise to not a few that a flourishing market town such as ours, with its fourteen thousand inhabitants, the oldest, or at least one of the oldest of our royal burghs, and the centre,

•we may say, of Scotland, and of one of Scotland's richest and most fertile agricultural districts, should, up to this time, be without such a great public convenience as a complete, accurate Directory.

By such considerations we have been led to attempt the present publication, on which, we need hardly say, we have bestowed some considerable care and pains, and trust it will be found as full and accurate in its details as the nature of such a compilation will admit.

It will, no doubt, be expected that in a Directory for Stirling some concise account should be given of the town, including the Castle, and other obiects of public interest connected with the place. And although this may not be very generally needed for the information of the inhabitants, who may be supposed on the whole to be sufficiently conversant with all matters of local interest, past and present, yet it will not therefore be the less necessary for the sake of the many thousand visitors who, attracted by its beautifully picturesque situation, and the unrivalled grandeur of its surrounding scenery, flow into

Stirling from day to day, many of them to take up their residence for a longer or shorter period amongst us, and naturally enough desire not only to know the names and j)rofessions of the more outstanding of our townsfolks and men of business, but also to form some little acquaintance with whatever is memorable or note-worthy in its history.

Accordingly we have deemed it not out of place to give the following very brief and necessarily meagre notices of the town and Castle, as also of some of the more prominent places in the neighbourhood, which may not be unacceptable to strangers or other parties who may wish for such information as we have here endeavoured to supply. STi RLI NG

Is generally understood to have derived its name from two Celtic words— considerably changed, however, from their original form and sound—and signifying The Hill of Strife. With this appellation its early history well accords, inasmuch as the precipitous and commanding eminence, on the eastern slope of which the town Is mainly built, together with the fields adjacent to it, have often, in days gone by, been the scene of fierce and desperate conflict, on the. issues of which not unfrequently depended the fate of fcicotland and of Scottish liberty. The town, which is a Eoyal and Parliamentary Burgh, is situated 35 miles north-west from Edinburgh, which city, by the way, it is said in some respects to resemble ; lies 28 miles north-east from G-lasgow; and 33| miles south-west from Perth. It is the county town of the shire to which it gives its name; and besides being the seat of a Sheriff, (having been erected into a separate Sheriffdom by James IV.,) it is visited once in six months by the Circuit Court of Justiciary. It is also one of five boroughs, known as the " Stir- ing District of Boroughs," which unite in sending a representative to Parliament. It was the chosen seat of royalty during several successive reigns of the Stuarts, when the principal nobility of Scotland had also their residence there. But, after th© removal of the Court, it gradually fell into decay, and for many years was little heard |i' of save as a military station. Of late years, however, its trade has greatly revived, through means of the opening up of railway communication betwixt it and all parts of the country, and other favouring circumstances, so that the town and suburbs have, within the last ten years or less, been much extended and improved. Ther© are three weekly newspapers published in the town, as also two or three monthly religious periodicals. The population at last census (1861) was 14,012, and classified as follows, viz., 3250 families; 6814 males, 7198 females. The number of inhabited the houses at the same period was 1433; uninhabited, 30; building, 11. During the last few years, a large number of new houses and villas have been added.

STIELINa CASTLE.

The most conspicuous, and at the same time most interesting, object connected with Stirling is its Castle. It stands on the western brow of the hill just referred to, at a height of about 220 feet above the level of the surrounding plain, and commands, in all directions, a far-reaching extent of country, which, for varied beauty and grandeur of scenery, is rarely equalled, and scarce ever surpassed. It is, no doubt, to its Castle that the town of Stirling has owed its origin ; but at what precise period the imposing and warlike structure was first erected, it is now, we should say, very difficult, if not impossible, to decide. Certain it is that Stirling, under the somewhat uncouth nama of Stryveling^ occurs in authentic history so far back as the earlier part of the 12th century, when, as would appear, from the circumstance of Alexander I., who conferred on the town its royal charter, having died there in 1124, it must in all probability have been at least the occasional, if not the ordinary abode of — — — STIRLING.

royalty. In the latter half of the same century we find it reckoned as one of the four

principal fortresses of the kingdom. Regarded as the Key to the Highlands, as from

its position it really was, its occupancy became an object of eager desire, and of the last importance, to those who would effectually govern the country; and accoi'dingly many desperate struggles were made by the Scots and English, each in opposition to

the other, to gain and retain possession of it. To give an idea of its strength as a

fortress in those times, it may be stated that in 1304, being at that period in the

hands of the Scots, it was besieged by Edward I. of England, who, himself at their

head, brought against it all the available forces at his command, and that for three

months it successfully withstood his fiercest assaults, although its garrison consisted

of but one hundred and forty men !

It was the favourite residence of James I., and the birth-place of James II., where, in after years, the latter monarch foully murdered with his own hand the Earl of Douglas, as referred to by Sir Walter Scott in the following couplet addressed to

Stirling Castle :

" Ye towers ! within whose circuit dread, A Douglas by his sovereign bled."

Several succeeding monarchs of the house of Stuart were also much attached to Stirling Castle, and took up their abode there in preference to any other in their

dominions. James III. was particularly partial to it, and besides extensivelj' repair-

ing it, improved and enlarged it by several important additions. It was the native place of the handsome and chivalrous King James V., who was also crowned there, and whence, now in the disguise of the " G-aberlunzie Man," and anon in that of the

*' Guidman o' Ballangeich," he was wont to sally forth among his subjects, either for his personal amusement, or for the purpose of thus becoming better acquainted with the habits and manners of the people. Here, too, among other courtly pastimes of his youthful Majest}^, as described by Sir David Lindsaj'-, the king's poetical page of honour *' Some gart him ravel at the rakket, Some harled him to the Hurley -liacket ;"

•which latter amusement, according to Sir Walter Scott, "consisted in sliding, in some sort of chair, it may be supposed, from top to bottom of a smooth bank" —and which "smooth bank" is still pointed out, to the north-east of the Castle, under the popular name of " Hurly Hawkey." At an earlier period it was better known as the

''Heading Hill," and is still most frequently termed the " Gowlan Hill," referring to the beheading of certain noblemen there for tx'eason, in 1424, by order of James I. Hence the well-known lines of Sir Walter in the Lady of the Lake, one of the chief scenes of which magnificent poem is laid in Stirling :

" And thou, oh sad and fatal mound, That oft hast heard the death-axe sound, As on the noblest of the land Fell the stern headsman's bloody hand."*

* The Lady of the Lake is Scaid to have been written not far from Stirling, viz., at Cambusmore House, near Doune, then the property of Major Buchanan, an intimate friend of the poet's. At the same house, Prince Charles Stuart passed a night on his way to the north, a short time before the battle of Culloden. STIRLING.

Mary of Guise, the widowed Queen of James V., resided in the Castle during her regency, and her daughter, the heautiful but unhappy Maiy Queen of Scots, was crowned there when only an infant of a few months old. Also Queen Mary's son, James VI., though born in Edinburgh, was baptized and crowned in Stirling, and his coronation sermon preached in one of the town churches by the celebrated John Knox. Here he passed his infancy, as also his boyhood up to his thirteenth or fourteenth year, under the tutorship of the famous George Buchanan. And in token of his kindly remembrance of the scenes of his early youth, he revisited Stirling in the course of his tour through Scotland in 1617, after he had been absent about fourteen years in England. But Stirling and its vicinity owe their chief distinction in history to the fact that here Sir William Wallace gained his most signal victory over the English invaders of his country, who were defeated by him with great slaughter on 13th September, 1297; as also to the other still more illustrious fact that, within sight of the Castle batteries, and about two miles to the west of it, was fought the battle of Bannockburn, under King Eobert Bruce, on the 24th June, 1314. Both these victories are destined to live in history through all time, as victories achieved in behalf of civil liberty and national independence, and with the memory of which the town of Stii'ling will continue to be associated to latest posterity.

In terms of the Treaty of Union, the Castle of Stirling is one of four Scottish fortresses which must ever after be kept up at the public expense ; and, since the period of the Union to the present time, it has been used, we believe, exclusively, as barracks for the accommodation of soldiers. THE BACK WALK.

No stranger who visits Stirling, and is a lover of the sublime and beautiful in nature, should omit making the circuit of the Bach Walk. It is allowed by all who have seen it, particularly in a cloudless summer's day, to be one of the grandest and most interesting promenades connected with any town in the kingdom. To attempt a description of it, and especiallj' of the magnificent panorama of fertile plains and lofty mountains presented from the upper parts of the Walk, would be greatly more than our available space would admit. Nor indeed can any mere description, however elaborate, convey an adequate idea of the scene which here opens on the view.

It must be seen, in order to obtain a just impression of its grandeur and beauty,

THE CEMETEHY.

The Cemetery underlies the Castle, a little to the south-west of it, and may be approached from the top of the Castle Esplanade, by a flight of steps, as well as from the Back Walk, and by the more public entrance at the upper end of St. John Street. Its situation is one of the finest imaginable, and the ground has been laid out with

great good taste and skill. It is adorned with statues of some of the better known of the Scottish Keformers and Martyrs, besides other memorials of departed worth, all more or less contributing to the natural beauty and attractiveness of the place.

In addition to these there is a marble fountain, of unique and chaste design, situated — ;

6 STIRLING. in that portion of the Cemetery, known as The Valley^ and not yet used as a place of sepulture. The fountain is understood to have heen erected hy the private munificence of Mr Wm. Drummond of Eockdale Lodge, Stirling, and is but one of several appropriate adornments of the place contributed bj'' that gentleman, and by which he has won in no small measure the esteem and gratitude of the community. THE LADIES' HOCK. This picturesque little eminence may be regarded as a spur of the great basaltic rock on which the Castle is reared. It rises abruptly over The Valley^ to the west, and served as a kind of natural platform whence the ladies of court were wont, in the days of the Jameses, to witness and encourage the jousts and tournaments engaged in by the gallant knights in the valley below, —whence it is said to have derived its name. On turning from the Valley^ and looking to the south-west, we see close at hand the King's Park, a noble enclosure of about three miles in circumfer- ence, surrounded in great part by a graceful iron railing, the rest by a substantial stone wall, and is at all seasons open to the public. Immediately beneath, and close by the foot of the Castle rock, maj' be seen what is called the King's Garden, thought to be one of the most ancient in Scotland. The eye is attracted to it chiefly by a singularly shaped mound in the centre, called the King's Knot. It rises by several terraces, the outer ones square, the inner, near the top, octagonal. What the original object of the mound preciselj^ was appears uncer-

tain ; but it is commonly believed to have been the scene of some courtly amusement, particularly in the early days of King James Y., known as the game of the Round Table, and supposed to have been founded on the history of King Arthur. The

King's Knot is in all probability referred to by Sir David Lindsay in the following lines addressed to Stirling in his Complaynt of the Pajnngo: —

" Adeu, fair Snawdown, with thy towris hie, Thy Chapel Royall, Park, and Tabill Round May, June, and July, would I dwell in thee. Were I aue man, to hear the birdis sound, Whilk doth against thy royall E-ocke redound." HOSPITALS.

Of these there are the following :

1. Spittal's Hospital, endowed by Robert Spitt;il, Tailor to King James TV., for the support of decayed members of the Seven Incorporated Trades of Stirling, viz., Hammermen, IVeavers, Shoemakers, Tailors, Bakers, Skinners^ and Fleshers. The weeklj^ allowance is said to range from Is. to Is. 9d. 2. Coavane's Hospital, endowed in 1635, by John Cowane, Merchant in Stirling, for maintaining a limited number of decayed members of the Guildry. AVeekly allowance said to be from 2s. to 6s. 3. Allan's Hospital, founded in 1728, by John Allan, Writer in Stiiding, for maintaining and educating bo5's belonging to the Incorporated Trades of Stirling, above named.

4. Cunnimghah's ^PiIohtification, as it is called, being a sum of money left by one Alexander Cunningham for a similar purj.0:e to that of Allan's Hospital. STIRLING.

The Town Council have the exclusive management of each of the above funds,

with the exception of Allan's Hospital, the direction of which is vested in the Town. Council, and second Minister of the town.

DRUMMOND'S TKACT DEPOT.

The founder of this well-known "Enterprise," as it has been called, is Mr Peter Drunimond, seedsman, of the firm of W. Drummond & Sons, Stirling and Dublin. It was begun in 1848, and had for its original object the suppression of Sabbath desecration in the town and neighbourhood, through means of the free distribution of tracts or leaflets prepared on the subject. By and by one and another of the more prevalent vices came to be assailed in the same manner, and in an incredibly short time tracts were issued by tens and hundreds of thousands, up even to millions, and scattered over the country, the expense being met for the most part by money contributions or "donations" given in by the benevolent of all quarters for the purpose. Then monthly broad-sheets of the same character as the tracts came to be added, and likewise issued in tens or even hundreds of thousands, and despatched in

huge bales far and wide, till, in less than ten years from the commencement of the "Enterprise," the names of "Stirling" and of "Peter Drummond," were, we venture to say, more extensively known all over the world than were those of any other town and individual in all broad Scotland. This extraordinary and all but unexampled success soon led to a corresponding

enlargement of the "Tract Depot" and its establishment, and ultimately to the erection, in King Street and Murray Place, of the most elaborately decorated and costly house of business ever seen in Stirling, whether in this or any former age.

ST. NINIANS, OR ST. RINGANS,

Is a village or small town of some 800 inliabitants, situated one mile to the south-

west of Stirling, on the Glasgow Eoad, in the parish of the same name. It is chiefly composed of ancient-looking houses, some of which, as attested by the dates inscribed in antique figures over their door-ways, are older by nearly half a century than the Revolution.

The most conspicuous object connected with the place is an old church-steeple, in the form of a square tower, having a clock of three dials, and crowned atop with a graceful dome, surmounted by a weather-cock. It stands within the gate of the old parish burial-ground, unconnected with any other building. The church to which it was originally attached was used as a powder-magazine by the followers of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in 1746, and blown up by accident, when the body of the church was completely destroyed, the steeple alone escaping untouched, and so it remains entire. Many of the older tenements along the main street have fallen sadly into decay,

and give a somewhat dilapidated appearance to the place ; but we are glad to under- stand that a spirited native tradesman is making preparations for erecting modern buildings on the ruins of the old. The chief trade consists of nail and candle manufacture, and tannery. There are three churches in the village, viz., an Established Church, Free Church, and United Presbyterian Church ; also the Parish School is situated there, and is both well taught, and largely attended. A little to the south or south-west of St. Ninians, in the low ground stretching betwixt the small hamlet of Milton and the Gillies' Hill, is the scene of the famous battle of Bannockburn. And on a slight eminence, known in the district as Caldham hill, will be seen the stone (popularly called The Bore Stone), in an aperture of which King Robert Bruce is said to have planted his standard while the battle was being fought. It is a huge block of granite firmly embedded in the soil, protected of late years by an iron grating, and indicated to the traveller by a tall flag-stafi" erected near it, which is seen from a considerable distance.

BANNOCKBURN is a village or town in the parish of St. Ninians, but larger and more populous than St. Ninians village, from which it is distant little more than a mile towards the south. Its population is supposed to number about 3000, and are chiefly employed in the manufacture of carpets and tartans, a branch of industry which has been prosecuted there for a number of years with much vigour and success, and been the means of greatly improving the place, and ameliorating the condition of the people. It is situated on the Bannock, a small rivulet or burn, which has lent its name to the place, as also to the battlefield in its neighbourhood, and is one of the tributaries of the Forth. There are three churches, Established, Free and U.P., respectivelj^, and two or three good schools. St. KiNlANS, &C.—GENERAL DlRECTORT. 39

OAMBUSBARRON is a village also within the parochial bounds of St. Ninians, about a mile to the north-west of it, but of much smaller extent and population than

either Bannockburn or St. Ninians. It has the appearance of great antiquity ; and at a short distance to the north-east of it is pointed out the site of a chapel within which King Robert Bruce is said to have worshipped, and taken the sacrament, on the evening previous to the battle. The village bears many unmistakeable marks of

adversity and decay ; but has experienced some considerable revival of late through means of an extensive woollen manufactory having been ti'ected a year or two ago in its immediate vicinitj'-, which employs a large number of the men and women of the place, and, besides having a respectable home trade, exports its fabrics to various towns and countries on the continent. In addition to this, some good lime-stone has recently been discovered in the neighbourhood, the excavation and burning of which must also furnish employment to a portion of the people; and although the lime-kilns with their ever-ascending clouds of nauseous smoke lend no charm to the picturesque valley in which they are situated, yet if they are the means of circulat- ing much-needed capital in the district, we suspect the people must be content to sacrifice so far the beauties of the landscape for the sake of the advantage.

On one of the peninsulas formed by the numerous and remarkable windings of tht Forth, and within less than a quarter of a mile eastward of the Stirling quay, will be seen, nearly entire, the only remaining tower of this once famous Abbey. From the Stirling side of the Forth it is reached by a ferry-boat, which plies regularly betwixt Cambuskenneth village and Stirling—fare, one half-penny. The Abbey, although dedicated to St. IMary, took the name of Cambuskenneth from the adjoining lands so called, and which were granted it as a perpetual endowment. It was founded in 1147, by King David I., youngest son of Malcolm Canmore, and was at one period about the wealthiest establishment of the kind in this country. It was occupied by canons-regular, as they were called, of the order of St. Augustine ; and to its abbots at various times, were entrusted, by the different sovereigns of the day, commissions of the highest state importance. Moreover, when the College of Justice was insti- tuted by James V., in 1532, it was Alexander INIyln, then abbot of Cambuskenneth, who was nominated President of the Court of Session, and was therefore the first who ever held that high legal appointment. ABBEY CRAIG. 43

Judging from the specimens which remain of it, the Abbey must no doubt have been a magnificent pile when in its glory, and ere the hand of violence had reduced it to its present ruinous condition. That it shared the fate of other religious houses of the same class throughout the country at the period of the Eeformation is well known ; although unfortunately the blame of such wanton destruction is not generally charged upon the "rascal multitude" who were its real perpetrators, so much as upon Knox and his coadjutors, who, instead of having had any hand in destroying the monasteries, as is often alleged, would rather have saved them if they could. This might easily be proved were it necessary, or were this a fitting place to enter upon the discussion. Suffice it upon this point to quote Thomas Carlyle, himself not a believer in the doctrines of the Eeformation, or if so, a believer merely after the vaguest and loosest fashion. He says, " They blame him (Knox) for pulling down cathedrals, and so forth, as if he were a seditious rioting demagogue : precisely the reverse is seen to be the fact, in regard to cathedrals and the rest of it, if we exa- mine ! Knox wanted no pulling down of stone edifices ; he wanted leprosy and dark- ness to be thrown out of the lives of men. Tumult was not his element ; it was the tragic feature of his life that he was forced to dwell so much in that." "Within the precincts of the Abbey both James III. and his queen were interred ; and during some excavations recently made among the ruins, a skeleton believed to be that of the king was discovered, casts of certain portions of which royal remains have been taken, and duly preserved. The temporalities of the Abbey were made over to the Earl of Mar by James VI., but were purchased in the beginning of last century by the Stirling Town Council in behalf of Cowane's Hospital, whose property they now are.

ABBEY CRAIG

Is a detached portion of the Ochil range, and, like the Stirling rock, from which it is about a mile distant, presents a bold, precipitous front to the west, of some 260 feet in height above the level of the Forth. On its most elevated ridge, and almost perpendicularly over Causewayhead, stands the Wallace Monument, now, and for some time past in course of erection, which forms a very conspicuous and picturesque object, seen at great distances in all directions, and which, if once completed, would no doubt, both as a work of art and as a fitting memorial of Scotland's greatest champion, lend much additional interest to a scene as rich in natural beauty and grandeur as it is replete with historic association. 44 CAUSEWATHEAD.

CAUSEWAYHEAD

Is a small village or hamlet (partly in the County of Stirling, and partly in that of Clackmannan), beautifully situated at the foot of the Abhey Craig, and about midway betwixt Stirling and Bridge of Allan by the new turnpike road, with a population of between two and three hundred. Besides many other qualities that render it desirable as a summer residence, the locality is quiet and retired, and being within an easy walk of the Airthrey Wells, it is not unfrequently preferred by invalids and others to Bridge of Allan. It is completely protected from the east by the Abbey Craig, which rises immediately behind.

BRIDGE OF ALLAN.

This queen, as it may well be called, of Scottish watering-places, is a picturesque and romantic-looking village, situated about three miles north of Stirling, and securely sheltered from the north and north-east by a lofty, wooded eminence, (the western extremity of the Ochils,) which rises immediately behind. As its name implies, it is built on the Allan, a beautiful mountain stream, one of the tributaries of the Forth. It is composed of two parts or sections, an upper and lower, the former being raised as on a terrace or plateau of considerable elevation, and nearly hid from the view of the other portion by the sudden rise of the hill, the slopes of which are tastefully adorned with trees and tall shrubs, through and along which are several public walks, with rustic seats at convenient intervals. When beheld from a distance, both parts of the village are equally well seen ; and viewed from Stirling Castle, or the Back Walk, particularly in a sunny morning or evening, in *' the leafy month of June" for example, it has all the enchanting appearance of fairyland, as pictured by the glowing fancy of the poets, rather than the earthly abode of ordinary mortals. It consists of several streets or rows of finely built houses, with a goodly array of handsome shops in every way worthy of the place. The larger number of erections, however, are in the form of separate villas, some of them displaying a very superior style of architecture, while the gardens, flower-plots, and other grounds attached, are in most cases laid out with a scrupulous regard to taste and elegance. With but few exceptions the houses are all fitted up for the accommodation of visitors, and are for the most part fully occupied, particularly in the

spring months, when, from the sheltered nature of the locality, the climate is found to be peculiarly favourable to invalids. "That the climate is here genial," says a recent eloquent writer, "is proved by the general healthiness of the people, and this the vigour of the indigenous and cultivated vegetation will further corroborate. The features of the scene are enhanced, not formed, by the trees, hedgerows, cultivated fields, and human habitations—the

clifi", mountain range, the rocky and the flowing river dwarf the efforts of man ; so also where the landscape is flashed and shaded alternately by sunlight and cloud, the interposition of human agency is of small avail to exalt the splendour of the efiects produced to the eye. Here are the Ochils, raising their elevated summits, forming on the north a background and horizon to the scene. Their sloping sides are spangled by heath and green grass, variegated with moss, and dotted at their base and further up by thriving woods. Extending out is a glorious foreground towards the noonday sun, formed of the rich carse of Stirling, watered by streams—the Forth, Teith, and Allan, that are lustrous as silver in the sunbeams. Here and there is the

monotony of the plain finely broken up by picturesque crags. One of these is Stirling its with Castle ; and another. Abbey Craig, shows the yet incomplete monument to

Wallace on its summit. .... Towards the south-west the prospect is bounded by the hills of Touch, and on the west by the mountains of Benlomond and Benledi. In the immediate foreground and at our feet is exhibited the toil of the agriculturist, as carried on intelligently and successfully, and as beautifying the landscape by softer — ——— —

charms," &c. It is no wonder, therefore, that a Spa so favourably situated, and withal so accessible and central, should be so frequented by invalids from all quarters of the country. They are not, however, the sick and infirm exclusively who betake themselves to this delightful watering-place. It is the favourite retreat, besides, of many of the "merchant princes" of Glasgow and other cities, who repair to it with their families for relaxation from the cares and distractions of business, to enjoy here for a season, amid the beauties of nature, the much-needed quiet and repose denied them at home, and in the busy marts of trade and commerce. It is the resort also of not a few of the gay and fashionable of all parts of the countrj^, who here find ample means of recreation and enjoyment to puit every variety of taste and age. Besides hot and cold baths in great perfection, a Turkish bath has recently been erected at much expenditure of time, taste, and capital, and is no doubt a considerable addition to all the other conveniences and attractions of the place. Of the mineral springs, which are situated in the upper part of the village, and the discovery of which fii'st brought the place into public notice, Dr Forrest of Stirling, no mean authority, says, in writing of them, that " in the amount of their saline impregnation, they far surpass the springs of Dunblane and Pitcaithly, and are only inferior to some of the springs at Cheltenham and Leamington." He then adds, "it may even be doubted if they are not, in reality, entitled to take the precedence of these springs." The following analysis of the waters has been given by the late Dr Thomson, Professor of Chemistry in the Glasgow University : "Springs No. I. and II., commonly called the Weak Springs.

KEIR HOUSE.

In passing along the turnpike road that leads from Bridge of Allan to Dunblane (a distance of three short miles), we see the house and grounds of Keir on the left, approached by a handsome gate, about a mile beyond the Bridge of Allan Eailway Station. The house is a princely mansion, the seat of William Stirling, Esq., M.P, for Perthshire, who is the chief of an ancient familj' of the same name, long distinguished in the Midland Counties. The grounds surrounding the house, and which slope gently towards the south, are laid oxit with admirable taste, and are said to contain some of the finest specimens of forest trees to be seen in this country. There are also ornamental flower gardens, composed of uniform terraces, on two sides of the mansion, which add greatly to the beauty and amenity of the scene. The grounds are kindly thrown open to strangers every Friday afternoon, from two

till six o'clock.

DUNBLANE.

Though of humble appearance, Dunblane, as a town, is a place of considerable fame and importance, as having been formerly an Episcopal city,—the see of a bishop. It is situated upon the Allan, six miles north of Stirling, and half that distanco from Bridge of Allan. It stands partly on both banks of the river, but chiefly on the east side, and consists mainly of one narrow, winding street, with smaller streets

or lanes diverging from it at different points. Having but a limited trade, it presents to a stranger a somewhat quiet and deserted aspect, with little to attract attention save the beauty of the situation, and the one solitary remnant of its ancient greatness —the ruins of its Cathedral. A closer acquaintance with it, however, will show the " city" with its neighbourhood to be not devoid of interest to the intelligent visitor. And as a fresh impetus has been given to its trade by the recent erection or extension of the woollen mills of Springbank, in the immediate vicinity, and which give steady employment to about 350 people, it is to be hoped that Dunblane, with its railway advantages, and other capabilities of improvement, shall yet attain. to a position in the country in some degree worthy of its former renown. The Cathedral, in common with many kindred establishments up and down the country, was founded by King David I., that "sair sanct for the croon." The date of its erection is 1140, which makes it older, by seven years, than the Abbey of Cambuskenneth. It consists of a nave and choir, the latter portion only of which is —

^52 DUNBLANE.

now entire, or nearly so, and is used as the Parish Church, while a part of the nave has till lately heen the burying -place of the Stirlings of Keir. The Cathedral tower, which is separate from the rest of the edifice, is also entire, and is 128 feet in height. It stands on the south side, near the junction of the nave and choir, and its hoary, time-worn aspect lends a picturesque and impressive air to the scene over

^which it presides. Within a short distance of the Cathedral, and close by the entrance to the "burying-ground in front, stands the famous Bibliotheca Leightoniana, in which is con- tained the Library bequeathed to the clergy of the diocese by Archbishop Leighton, who was bishop of Dunblane previous to his promotion, in 1670, to the Archiepisco- pate of Glasgow. The Library originally consisted of 1400 volumes, comprising the 'more valuable classics, and the writings of the early Fathers of the Christian Church, together with other important theological works. Several additions have since been made to it from time to time, and it now numbers some 5000 volumes. Proceeding up the river, along the east bank, we come to what was a favourite shaded walk of " the good Bishop," as Leighton was called, and which is still known as The Bishop's Walk. Passing on in the same direction but a short distance, we reach what are popularly known as The Laigh-hills, (anglice, Low-hills,) which are gently undulating knolls, or braes, covered with beautiful green sward, interspersed with tufts of golden broom, among which the youthhood of the town have ample space to disport themselves in the summer evenings, or all day long,

•'Till too, too soon the glowing west Proclaims the speed of winged day."

But we venture to say that more than to her Laigh-hills and their "broomy knowes," or the classic stream that flows at their feet; more even than to her

Cathedral and all its faded glories ; ay, more than to her Leightonian Library and

all its black-letter lore together, Dunblane is indebted for her fame to the genius of poor Tannahill. Associated with his "Jessie," the name of "Dunblane" has been wafted on sweetest strains of poesy to the world's end, and wherever else, far or near, there have been warm and genial hearts that could respond to^the glowing notes of his muse. It ought to be mentioned that two miles or so to the north are the mineral springs of Cromlix, the medicinal virtues of which are nearly the same as of the wells at Bridge of Allan, but which would seem not to have been generally known till within the last half-century or thereby. These springs, however, are not much frequented by strangers, which is the more to be wondered at, considering the beauty of the situation and of the surrounding scenery, together with the rare salubrity of the climate, which, we should think, ought to render the place, and the town in its neighbourhood, extremely desirable as summer quarters. For while the more fash-

ionable watering-place of Bridge of Allan is, no doubt, all but unequalled as a Spring residence, being so completely screened from the cutting east winds of that season, Dunblane (where, by the way, the waters of Cromlix are to be had fresh from the wells daily) has not only the advantage of being well sheltered, but, from its superior elevation, enjoys a purer and more bracing atmosphere, and is therefore all that — — ; ;

DUNBLANE.

could be wished for as a healthy retreat during the hotter and sultrier months of the year. SHEEIFFMiriR

Is situated about two miles north-east of Dunblane, and is famous in Scottish history as the scene of the only battle fought in defence of the Chevalier de St. George's pretended claims to the British throne. The rebel army was commanded by the Earl of Mar, and numbered 10,000 men, chiefly highlanders; while that of the royalists, under the Duke of Argyle, did not muster 4000. The engagement

took place on Sunday the 13th November, 1715 ; and the peculiarity of the fight was that neither party won, while both claimed the victory, inasmuch as the right wing of each army completely routed the left of the other, which gave rise to the popular

song :

" Some say that we wan, Some say that they wan, And some say that nana wan at a', man But o' ae thing I'm sure, that at Sheriffmuir, A battle there was that I saw, man."

Keferring to the flight of the routed portion of Argyle's cavalry, Burns, in his song

on the subject, has the following lines :

" The chase gaed frae the North, man I saw mysel', they did pursue The horsemen back to Forth, man ; An' at Dunblane, in my ain sight, They took the brig, wi' a' their might, An' straight to Stirling wing'd their flight," &c. About a thousand men lay dead on the moor, and the fight was not renewed. Some aficcting memorials of the conflict are still pointed out on the battlefield.

KIPPENROSS.

The grounds of Kippenross, the property of John Stirling, Esq. of Kippendavie, lie immediately to the south of Dunblane, and are thrown open to strangers every Wednesday and Saturday. The main entrance is by the gate which opens on the Bridge of Allan road, a mile to the south of Dunblane ; but when approached from the latter place, the access is by a wicket on the left bank of the Allan, close by the Dunblane Hotel. The walks are much admired on account of the fine specimens they afford of rich woodland scenery ; but the chief object of interest in the grounds is a famous old plane tree, to which tbe stranger is directed by a guide-post withia the park. The tree is said to have been known as the The Big Tree in Kippenross so long ago as the times of Charles II., and has now well-nigh completed its fifth I century. It is truly therefore a venerable no less than a majestic product of nature; and although some of the infirmities inseparable from length of days are no doubt beginning to tell upon it in various forms, as might reasonably be expected, yet this patriarch of trees continues to exhibit, in no small measure, the healthy vigour of a green old age and for ; aught that appears to the contrary, may survive the shocks of . —

DOU N E Is a station on the Dunblane, Doune and Callander line of Eailway,—nine miles north-west from Stirling, four miles west from Dunblane, and situated in the Parish of Kilmadock, and County of Perth. It is a clean, respectable, and apparently thriving little village, notwithstanding the somewhat large number (for its size) of spirit- dealers it contains; a fact, we should saj', at variance with the theory, pretty generally established by experience, that neither thrift, respectability, nor cleanliness can long remain associated with a love for strong-drink, in the case of a community, any more than of an individual. Probably, however, the explanation may be, that as there are four fairs held in the place in the course of the year, and all of them, we presume, largely frequented by Highland drovers—a class proverbially partial to uisg 'a beaiha (improperly spelt usquebaugh)^—they^ and not local drinkers, are the parties who chiefly support the publicans. The village stands in a pleasant situation, on the north bank of the river Teith, and is composed of one principal street, with two others diverging from it about the centre. It was much famed during last century for its manufacture of dags^ or Highland pistols, produced here in such perfection that, for beauty of workmanship, strength, and correctness of aim, they are said to have been unrivalled either in Scot- land or elsewhere. In this species of manufacture it enjoyed an extensive and even lucrative trade for a time ; but since the disuse of the full Highland costume in this country, after the rebellion of 1745, the demand for pistols gradually decreased, till at length, many years ago, this branch of business became extinct in Doune, and has not since been revived. The inhabitants are now mainly employed either in rural labour in the district, or at the cotton works of Deanston, in the neighbourhood. To the south of the village, at the junction of the Teith and Ardoch, lies the once famous Castle of Doune. It is a majestic ruin, great even in decay, and commands 6S DEANSTON. from its broken ramparts a view seldom equalled for rich and varied beauty. Being near Stirling, it was a favourite retreat of the Scottish monarchs of the house of Stuart, who frequently betook themselves to its quiet seclusion for a temporary respite from the frivolities of court life, as much, perhaps, as from the cares of state.

Queen Mary loved its retired security much ; and even her son, though of a less refined and centemplative turn of mind, took pleasure, in his earlier days, in paying it an occasional visit. During the rebellion of 1745 the Castle was occupied as a garrison by the insurgents, who made its stronghold a place of detention for the pri- soners they had taken after their successful fight at Falkirk. At a short distance from the other extremity of the village will be seen the bridge across the Teith, erected in 1535 by Robert Spittal, tailor to Margaret, queen of James IV. No doubt the royal tailor must have been a man as liberal as he was wealthy, considering this and other substantial tokens of his munificence which still remain to his praise. The origin of the bridge, according to popular tradition, is not without its interest. It would appear that previous to its erection, the only mode of crossing the river was by means of a ferry-boat. Spittal once on a time had had

occasion to cross, but having forgot his purse, he was unable to pay the fare ; where- upon the boatman, (who, by the way, must have been a sad churl,) refused to ferry him across without the usual hire, much to the chagrin of the tailor, who, it was said, had some business of importance to transact on the other side. But lest he or any other should be treated again after the same fashion, or placed in the like predi- cament, Spittal forthwith resolved to erect the bridge, which, when done, of course deprived the surly ferryman of his means of living, and (to use the common phrase), served him right I

DEANSTON.

Crossing Spittal's bridge over the Teith, and proceeding up the river fof about half-a-mile,—a delightful walk,—we come to the Deanston Cotton Mills, a few yards beyond which is the village of the same name. The Mills are the property of Messrs James Finlay & Co. of Glasgow, and previous to the scarcity of cotton occasioned by the late American war, were wont to employ from seven to eight hundred persons in the works. One chief peculiarity of these Mills is, that water, and not steam, con- stitutes their propelling power. The motion is effected by means of four immense wheels of equal size, each being about eighty horse power, all working harmoniously together, and regulated in the same manner as a steam-engine. The extent of these works may be inferred from the fact that they cover about three acres of ground, while one compartment or hall within the buildings contains some 3G0 looms, all wrought simultaneously, and extending over a space of half-an-acre. But as one man of genius will do more to bring a place into public notice than a thousand ordinary mortals, who, pursuing "the even tenor of their way," plod blamelessly through life till its close ; so Deanston owes its fame to one distinguished DOUNE AND DEANSTON—GENERAL DIRECTORY. 59

Dame connected with it, more than to its cotton factoiy, and all the fabrics ever produced by its looms. But for that name, or rather the man who bore it,'we venture to assert that Deanston would have been unheard of to this day in many a district even in our own country, not to speak of others abroad, where now his name and that of his residence are " familiar as household words." That man, we need scarcely say, was James Smith, the ingenious mechanician and eminent agriculturist of Deanston. Related to the proprietors of the Mills, and having manifested uncom- mon aptitude for business, he was early in life appointed to the management and superintendence of the works, a situation which he held for thirty years, and in the course of which period he not only introduced many improvements and reforms into the establishment, but his fertile genius also led to the discovery of valuable and important inventions in the construction and application of machinery. It was, however, through means of his work on Thorough Braining that he first became generally known as a Scottish agriculturist of extraordinary skill and enterprise. In this treatise he gave to the world, in 1831, the results of his experience in husbandry, as practised on his model farm of Wester Deanston ; and also wrote from time to time such other essays on pi^actical agriculture and farming implements, as gave an impulse to landward cultivation, in all its various departments, such as it had scarce ever received in this country before. He died in Ayrshire, in 1850, in the 62nd year of his age, and his remains were conveyed thence to the old church yard of Kilma- dock, where they repose in peace within a quarter of a mile of the chief scene of his activities when in life. It is believed that since the census of 1841, the population of the parish has decreased by nearly one-fourth, which (as we have been told upon the spot) is owing in great part to the fact that in Mr. Smith's time the native youth found ample employment in connection with that gentleman's works at and about Deanston, while many too, were attracted to the works from other quarters, and so added materially to the population of the district ; whereas since the death of Mr. Smith all this has been changed, and employment for the youth of the parish has, for the most part, to be sought for in Glasgow and Edinburgh, or wherever else it may be found. Hence the population of Kilmadock in 1861 was but 3312, showing an increase of no more than 268 over the gross population of the parish in 1801, just 60 years before.

SECURITY. The Valuations are made by the Carlisle Tables of Mortality, upon the assumption that the Society's Funds will yield Interest at £3 per cent, only, the whole loading or per centage on future Premiums being entirely excluded. After setting aside Funds on the ample scale implied in such a Valuation, there remained a free balance of Profit realized on the operations of tfce Seven Years, 1852 to 1859 alone, of no less than £724,117. The Security afforded hij the Scottish Widows' Fund is therefore of the most undoubted description. AMOUNT OF PROFIT REALIZED since the Society was founded, up to Zlst December, 1859,

Profit, 1815 to 1845 (Thirty-one years) ...... £708,968 Profit, 1846 to 1852 (Seven years) 591,158 Profit, 1853 19 1859 (Seven years) .. 724,117

Profit realized, 1815 to 1859, £2,024,243

THE WHOLE PROFIT REALIZED IS DIVIDED AMONG THE POLICY- HOLDERS ALONE,

while in Proprietary Companies the Profit is divided in certain proportions between Shareholders and Policy-holders. The above figures serve to indicate the important distinction which exists between the Mutual and Proprietary Systems, and that VERY LARGE SUMS are necessarily paid to the Society's Policy-holders, which under the Proprietary System would be paid in Dividends to Shareholders. The following are Examples of the additions made to Policies of £1000.

Portion of Policy- Amounts of Premiums paid. Premiums added dated £1000 Policies in 1865. as Bonuses.

1815 £2,583 5 3 £1,319 12 6 120 per cent. 1825 2,034 5 10 1,060 17 6 97 1835 1,729 4 2 802 2 6 91 " 1845 1,417 15 10 543 7 6 77 " 1855 1,191 19 7 284 12 6 67 "

Thus Bonuses equal to the greater part of the Premiums paid have been added to Policies of even recent issue, while in many instances the Bonuses equal or exceed the whole Premiums paid ; the original sums insured in these latter cases being secured by the Interest on the Premiums alone. J

(Scottish Widows' Fund—continued. INCREASING FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND PROSPERITY OF THE SOCIETY.

1.—The Funds have increased from - - - £3,518,230 in 1859 to - -£4,130,000 2. —The Annual Revenue has increased from 412,767 in 1859 to - - 515,000 3. —The New Assurances of 1864 alone (£10,000 only reassured), amounted to 886,350

DIVISION OF PROFITS IN 1866.

The whole Profits realized since 1859 ivill be divided among the Policy-holders at 31st December, 1866. The increase which has taken place since 1859 in all the sources from which Profit is derived, lead to the conclusion that the sum to be divided at the close of next year will be an unusually large one. All Folicies issued during the remaining moitths of 1865 will entitle their hokkrs to rank for tivo ivhole years' Bonuses.
