The Engine Shed is visibly taking shape between Stirling Railway Station and the River in the old Forthside Depot. It is to be Historic Environment Scotland's new technical conservation workshop whilst at the same time providing a modern use for a 'traditional' building. An open day on 25th Feb will provide an opportunity to take a look around and see what is to come.

The Friends of the Smith hold some excellent talks and the next one is likely to be of interest to many members of SLHS - and many others too.
Monday 29th February 2016 at 7.30pm in the Smith Putting Stirling on the Map Paula Williams, Curator of Maps, Mountaineering and Polar Collections, from the National Library of Scotland will talk about four hundred years of mapping the Stirling area, illustrated with maps from the NLS collection. Tickets at the door, £5 (£4 for Friends) includes refreshments Click here for the flyer. _ On 25th Feb Dr Lucy Dean, of the University of Stirling, will be speaking on "Projecting ‘Princelie Majestie’ in the Reign of James V: Ceremony, Ritual and the Visible Monarch".
This is a change from the programme originally published but promises to be an interesting talk and particularly relevant to Stirling as the site of one of James V's major residences, the recently- recreated Stirling Castle Palace. As usual the meeting is at 19.30 in the Smith Art Gallery and Museum. Members free (students and under 18s can join free); we ask non=members to make a modest contribution.
