After seeing the exhibitions in #Stirling at the Tolbooth, the Barracks and the MacRobert I'd say this year's #StirlingPhotographyFestival has been a triumph of what volunteer effort can achieve.

Still further exhibitions to see, at the Library in #Doune and then group shows opening in #Dunblane at the Library and WeighAhead, and a full event programme.

#Doune Castle, famous as the main filming location of The Holy Grail, not only has an audio guide narrated by Terry Jones, it also offers cyclists a 25 % discount on the entry fee under a scheme called "Good Journey". Definitely worth visiting not just for fans of Monty Python.

November 1st was a date of significant amenity losses in central Scotland.
#OTD in 1955, #Alva lost its railway station; the nearest station is now 4km away at #Alloa (itself with no rail links for 40 years from 1968).
In 1965 #Callander lost its station, leaving the nearest as Dunblane, all of 17km away, and #Doune lost its station, leaving the nearest as again Dunblane, 6km away.

The David Stirling Memorial. It commemorates the World War Two founder of the SAS and members of the regiment who have died in service. It stands near Stirling's ancestral home near Doune and has views towards the southern Highlands. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/doune/stirlingmemorial/index.html
