One of Stirling’s oldest constantly inhabited homes – dating from the 1500s – has gone up for sale.

Bothwell House on St John Street was once owned by Provost Robert Bruce, a descendant of Robert the Bruce.

It sits just a short walk from Stirling Castle and next door to the iconic Church of the Holy Rude.

The four-bedroom home on St John Street, which was previously known as Boghall, is now on the market for offers over £320,000.

The property – spread over three levels – has retained several original features including a turnpike stair.

An entrance hallway leads to a grand staircase leading to the first floor.

In nearby Bridge of Allan, a beautifully modernised lodge is for sale for nearly half a million pounds.
