RT by @AlynSmith: The Church of the Holy Rude is a stunning historical landmark located in Stirling, Scotland. It is the second oldest building in the city after Stirling Castle, which rises prominently nearby. This church is of significant historical importance as it has been the site of many notable events, including the coronation of King James VI of Scotland in 1567. Adjacent to it stands the Cowane's Hospital, an almshouse established in the 17th century by the merchant John Cowane.

Mar's Wark, to the left of the Church of the Holy Rude in the photo, is a significant historical structure in Stirling, Scotland, with a fascinating history that complements its neighbors. It was commissioned around 1569 by the powerful Earl of Mar, John Erskine, who was the hereditary Keeper of Stirling Castle and a one-time Regent of Scotland during the minority of James VI​​. The construction of this magnificent townhouse began shortly after Mar was granted the keepership of Stirling Castle in 1567, and it was near completion by 1570, though it may not have been finished to its original plans due to Mar's death in 1572​​.
Known also as Mar's Lodging, this Renaissance-style mansion hosted King James VI and was later repaired to serve as a barracks during the 1715 Jacobite Rising​​. Despite its ruinous state today, the mansion's fine façade still stands, featuring a gatehouse with sculptures and matching semi-polygonal towers flanking the entrance, as well as intricate carvings, statues, and coats of arms​​.

Together with the Church of the Holy Rude and Cowane's Hospital, Mar's Wark forms part of the rich tapestry of Stirling's historical architecture, each building with its own story woven i…
