Historians recorded that this was where Warwolf, the largest trebuchet believed built, was first used, with devastating effect.  There have been several other sieges of  this castle since the Wars of Scottish Independence, the last being in 1746, when Charles Edward Stuart, "Bonnie Prince Charlie", and his Jacobite force unsuccessfully tried to take the castle. Several Scottish Kings and Queens have been crowned at Stirling, including Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1543.   Antique steel plate engraving on paper Total size approx 8 x 11 inches Engraver:  W.Wallis Drawn by: Thomas Allom 1804-1872 Published by: George Virtue 1836    Condition: Good with margins stk.27
