Continue on this road to the T junction with the A811 and turn left towards the centre of Stirling. Take the second turning on the right into Victoria Place and continue into Victoria Square. Castleview, 9 Victoria Square, is the large, detached house in the middle of the square on the south side. SITUATION Castleview has a superb setting on Victoria Square. The outlook over the square to Stirling Castle, is absolutely spectacular. Stirling is the historic centre of Scotland, with Stirling Castle, Bannockburn and the Wallace Monument being notable attractions. The castle was the seat of the kings of Scotland in the Middle Ages. The town was pivotal to the nation s history and both William Wallace s victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 and Robert the Bruce s victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 took place nearby. Victoria Square is built on part of the ancient royal hunting grounds of the Scottish kings. It is part of the Kings Park Conservation Area which is an outstanding Victorian villa development with remarkably few later additions. It is now a highly desirable place to live. Kings Park Golf Course and the town centre are both close by. The town has a good range of shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and high street shops, together with the superstores on the edge of town. There are a range of private schools nearby, including Dollar Academy, Beaconhurst, Strathallan, and Kilgraston (girls only). Stirling University is at Bridge of Allan. Stirling is well placed for road, rail and bus connections to all the major towns in Scotland. The M9 and M80 motorways give quick access to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports are within easy reach. The A84 from Stirling is a main route into the highlands and the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. There are opportunities for many outdoor activities including climbing, hill walking, water sports, fishing, shooting and stalking. Gleneagles Hotel with its leisure club and golf courses is only 15 miles to the north. DESCRIPTION Castleview, 9 Victoria Square is an impressive detached house.
