Auf der rechten Seite des mittleren Innenhofs befinden sich die zwei bedeutendsten Gebäude des Schlosses, die Große Halle (Great Hall) und der königliche Palast. Die zwischen 1501 und 1504 im Renaissance -Stil erbaute Große Halle ist 38,1 Meter lang und 14,3 Meter breit.
Stirling Castle, located in Stirling, is one of the largest and most historically and architecturally important castles in Scotland. The castle sits atop an intrusive crag, which forms part of the Stirling Sill geological formation. It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position.
