| "The
purpose of the Smith is to be a centre for the arts and a
museum to record, collect, preserve, conserve and interpret
the material culture of the Stirling district for the cultural
benefit of the people who live here, and for the added stimulation
of visitors to the district, and also to contribute to the
museums and galleries movement in Scotland" |
| The
museum traces Stirling's local history and houses the oldest
recorded curling stone in the world from 1511! |
