Darnley House, Stirling

Darnleys House is a unique building in Stirling as it features a barrel-vaulted ground floor unconnected to the upper floors. Common folk-lord would tell you that Lord Darnley stayed at this establishment, which was previously owned by Erskine of Gogar while the Royal entourage resided at the Stirling Castle. It was also used in the past centuries as a tavern and a meeting place. Today, it is used as a coffee house.
