I have endeavoured in the following pages to present, in as succinct a manner as possible, some of the leading items of information bearing upon such, and these brief notes will, I trust, be found not only useful in themselves, but serve to preserve, in some degree at least, interest in our good old town.
In addition to the notes on the Auld Biggins of Stirling: its Streets, Wynds, and Closes, it has been deemed advisable to include illustrations of the more prominent and typical of these, from which still better understanding and appreciation of their appearance may be had, and this will doubtless be considered a by no means uninportant part of the book. The pictures of Neebour Villages will also, it is hoped, prove of interest, and the insertion of the portraits of Burgh and County Officials gives additional local bearing to the volume.
