Near ftlm centre of the cemetery is an eleâ€" vated rock called the Ladies‘® Rock on the top of which and not far apart are a sunâ€"dial and a compass. The in seription engraven on the dial is sugâ€" gestive and striking. The thoughtul Itraveller pauses to take in its full meaning : "I am a shadow, so art thou, I mark time, dost thou?" This is cut deeply in the bronze of the dial in a circle around the outer edge and doubtless causes many a passing wayfarer to look within, aâ€" midst all the outiooking to which they are so prone. In the new cemetery to the north of the old are some very interesting statues. _ Three or four may be mentioned. One, "The Virgin l Martyrs," enclosed in glass is a beautiâ€" ul piece of statuary. _ That of James Guthrie, one of the Ministers of Stirling | who suffered martyrdom in 1661 and to Ebenezer Erskine at one time minisâ€" | ter in the High Church are commemorâ€" ative of great and worthy men.

For the tourist there are three or four points of special dmportance and his first care is to reach one of these in the shortest time. In my, plan of sampaign,. the High Church came first in order. _ This is one of the oldest and most important churehes in Seotland. There is eviâ€" dence that a churech was here in 1414, it is recorded that the church was reâ€" builtafter having been destroyed some time previously by fire. It is now diyided by a solid wali into two separâ€" ate and distinct parts called respective: \â€"â€"‘To one versed as you are in Scottish ’ history, Stirling has peculiar interest. Bo many imporiant events cluster round it that days might very profit, ably be spent in viewing scenes which at one time or another throbbed with the heartbeats of a nation struggling for its very existence and field, upon which some of Seotland‘s noblest heroces and England‘s bravest soldiers shed their life‘s blood.
