Doors Open Day and Scottish Archaeology Month have become well-established fixed points in the calendar in recent years. And deservedly so as there are alway some treats on offer, places to visit you can't usually get into, interesting guided walks and things to do.
This year the local offerings are such a bumper crop that it's difficult to know where to start. Lime kilns at Cambusbarron, Stirling Tolbooth, the Allan's School Bastion, a long walk round the Bannockburn battle site and a training dig are just a few of the things that caught my eye.
There is also much that is more up to date - including Stirling's favourite eyesore, the old Tax Office on Spittal Street and the opportunity to visit the Stirling Islamic Centre.
And, for those who have not yet had a visit, why not see our own Stephen Digney on a guided walk at the King's Knot when he will explain the most recent findings.
Much too much to put it all on here, anyway. But the link will give you dates, places, booking arrangements and even some pretty pictures.
So, click and browse through and choose your own favorites
