CHAS’ & RUBY’S 2006 UK TOUR Wednesday, May 31st: STIRLING CASTLE’s 16th Century GREAT KITCHENS EXHIBIT

In 1921 (not that long ago!), an archeological excavation discovered the
ORIGINAL 16th century GREAT KITCHENS of STIRLING CASTLE!

In 1689, those kitchen vaults had been filled-in to provide a solid base for the
“GREAT BATTERY” of cannons erected along Stirling Castle’s North Wall.

Not ALL of the 16th century GREAT KITCHENS area has been excavated.

But, the areas that HAVE been EXCAVATED have also been RECONSTRUCTED to show what the original 16th Century Kitchens would have looked like – also demonstrating the kinds of activities that occurred there. They’ve done an AMAZING JOB!

I particularly enjoyed wandering around within the
GREAT KITCHENS exhibit.

If you haven’t been there already; Go to the OTHER o’ MY TWO
STIRLING CASTLE FAVORITE PIX PAGES:
The TAPESTRY STUDIO PROJECT!
a unique recreation project commissioned by Historic Scotland.

OR! JUST JUMP TO THE NEXT CASTLE I VISITED THAT DAY:
