The Stirling Girl, originally uploaded by bobsee.
Over recent months Stirling Council has erected some information panels around the city. On one side is a map of the area and on the other are some images of that area as it was along with interesting little histories.
On the panel at the foot of the “Back Walk” I found this image. I’ve never seen it before even though its from the 1920’s.
I find it quite captivating. I love how the more you look at it the more you see. Within the picture are many of Stirling’s famous landmarks – the Wallace Monument in the feather on her head, Stirling Castle on her hat, along with the Wolf and Robert the Bruce, then around her neck the Old Stirling Bridge.
Have you seen other examples of this kind of drawing anywhere?
