St. Mary's Wynd

Hi T. I think it must be a 7, there is nothing near it on the previous line. A glaring error on here is it has his mother as Isabella Scott, now that's plain wrong, she was his wife's mother.

I've been returning to this every now again, to try and make sense of it and the address in St. Mary's Wynd. And I just might have a solution for you. James Stain or Stein lived in Baker Street and died in St. Mary's Wynd, reason - heart attack! I might be wrong, but I think thats the address of a pub, 73-75 next to the old English School, used to be called the Settle Inn now Whistlebinkies. I would hazard a guess and say he died in that pub. Now I'm probably a 100% wrong, but a search of the local papers, Stirling Journal and Stirling Observer for that date, just might throw up something. Hope this is food for thought.

Stirling76, thank you very much. I was wondering if perhaps he didn't die at home. I will delve into that.

On another note can you tell me where I should contact for burials in Stirling. I must have a few about the place.

I did have a wander round the graveyard behind Mar's Wark but, well you will know how big it is and I had little time as I was itching to get to Bannockburn. Can you tell me anything about this pyramid shaped structure in there, is it a tomb ?

Seoras,  I thinnk this is the Covenanters Monument. You can see it from the A9 I'm sure.

Skoosh.
