View of Abbey Craig, on the Clyde near Stirling in Scotland. A ‘craig’ or ‘crag’, is a rocky hill or mountain which is usually isolated from other high ground. This craig is famous in Scottish history because it was from here that in 1297 William Wallace watched the English forces crossing the Forth at Stirling Bridge. Wallace later led his troops to victory in the Battle of Stirling Bridge. This picture was drawn in 1816 before a monument to commemorate Wallace was erected at the peak of Abbey Craig.

The Town of Stirling.
Drawn on the Spot by I. Clark.
London, Published by Smith, Elder & Co. 65 Cornhill, 1824.

A distant view of the former ancient burgh Stirling, from the "Views in Scotland" series. Although it cannot be proved it is believed that 'I. Clark" is the Scottish painter John Heaviside Clark, famed as 'Waterloo Clark' for his early sketches of the battle. He was also skilled in aquatinting, and certainly none of this series has a named engraver.
