Municipal Buildings, Stirling - a photo on Flickriver

            The design of these buildings was won in a competition by J. Gaff Gillespie, in 1908, but were not built until the War years of 1914-18. Due to monetary constraints only the central block and south-west wing were ever built with initial estimates putting the cost of building around £22,000. However, the total cost came in at £38,511. The foundation stone was laid by King George V on 11 July 1914. A number of carvings are present on the buildings, among them a sculptured finial of Mary, Queen of Scots, the initials and emblems of the architect and builder. A fine Edwardian municipal office design by a renowned architect.
