Stirling Old Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Forth at Stirling, constructed in the late fifteenth century. The bridge comprises a series of arches built in rubble stone and represents a significant feat of medieval engineering, providing an important crossing point on a major route through central Scotland. Its strategic location made it militarily and commercially significant throughout the medieval and early modern periods, and it remained in use as the principal bridge at Stirling until the construction of a new bridge in the nineteenth century. The structure survives substantially intact, though it has undergone repairs and modifications over the centuries to maintain its function and integrity.
