A £12m project to recreate the grandeur of Stirling Castle's renaissance royal palace has opened to the public. More than a decade of research and craftsmanship has gone into the revamp to ensure the palace appears as it would have done in the 16th Century.

The royal palace was built for James V and Mary of Guise in 1538. The refurbishment includes four giant tapestries and the installation of replicas of the Stirling Heads, carvings which date from after 1530.


The full story can be read on BBC Scotland News with more information at Stirling Castle itself!
