the statue looking out towards the town of stirling is of robert the bruce. i took this picture on the first ramparts of stirling castle. if you look closely in the distance you can see a river...it's about a mile away. the castles' canons were able to blow up the bridge on it...i thought that was amazing. if you've seen the movie "braveheart" you'll have a better understanding of the history of stirling, scotland...if not, you should watch it.
