Overview

Previously Stirling High School, the building was converted to an hotel in 1990. Tours, lasting approximately 30 minutes, will be provided by members of Stirling Astronomical Society. This is a very popular event so you may have to queue, but the hotel has kindly provided a room where you can watch a digital presentation while you wait. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access to the observatory, which is up a 90 step spiral staircase.
