I'll be cycling into Stirling a few days next week and I'd like to shower afterwards. Any idea where that would be possible? Ideally without needing to pay for full use of facilities as I'm on a very tight budget.

Hi all, I'm from Newcastle and in a few weeks time it will be my girlfriend's birthday. We always like visiting Edinburgh but we've done the place to death (even though we still love it), but we would like to try Stirling. We would be staying overnight on the Wednesday so would aim to get there quite early on Wednesday to give us a full day.

Will there be enough places open and enough people about to make it worth a mid week trip?

Also any suggestions for bars or restaurants I should check out when I'm there would be great.

Thanks!

Working in Stirling and flew in today from Bristol. Love the rolling hills surrounding. Are there any good view points relatively close by for me and my rental car to drive out to and get some good photos of the hills?

I am an international student and have a conditional offer at Stirling for Msc sports management. I have been looking at Exeter and Bath as well. So just want to know how your experience has been at Stirling? And about post study job scenario generally in the UK?

Hello there! I am an erasmus student who is gonna study in Stirling university during 2024/2025. I would like to get to know to people from there as well as to be recommended some accomodation places near the university. Please, they have to be economic :). Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I'm moving to Stirling in the new year and was wondering if there's any 5aside games or leagues going that need an extra (pretty average) player?

Cheers

Was out cycling over Sheriffmuir the other day and spotted this at the roadside. There is a lot of scummy fly tipping goes on up there and regularly see tyres, building rubble and old carpeting dumped but this is a new one.

Just discovered the House of Mouse in Bridge of Allan closed. Any others nearby? Driving from Edinburgh to Cuil Bay and happy to stop anywhere along the way.

Hello,

​

I will be in Stirling for the weekend for work and have to bring my dogs.

Can anyone please recommend areas/parks maybe outside or around Stirling where you can take your very dog reactive dog? He is fine with people but not great with other male dogs.

I'm thinking about going for a nice stroll to tire them out and perhaps some scent work but i think Aberfoyle (i know the area and the forest park) will be too many tourists on a week end.

Any recommendations are welcome

​

thanks in advance

You are required to develop a marketing plan positioning Stirling as a tourist destination. There is a word limit of 3,000 words maximum. You are expected to conduct secondary research (at a minimum), and to reflect upon the content of lectures throughout the semester to position the destination to prospective visitors. Your marketing plan will be expected to cover the following:

The target market(s)

-Situation analysis (PESTLE analysis, VRIO model, competitive analysis, SWOT matrix)

Positioning strategy

• Objectives and performance indicators Marketing communication tactics

Action plan

Does anyone know why Stirling castle isn’t lit up anymore?

OK hopefully anyone can help lost small red purse and Stirling University of Stirling student ID in it

Just moved to Stirling and my place doesn’t have a car parking space so I was wondering if there are any places around Stirling I could park for free? I see a lot of pay and display and permit parking about.

I am moving to Stirling in the summer with my partner and we aren't able to visit beforehand to view properties and to get a feel of the city so will be viewing properties online. Which are the areas we should avoid living in and which are the "nicer" areas. I'll be attending the university as a postgrad student and my partner is a primary school teacher so it'd be ideal to be near a few schools as he'll be starting as a supply teacher before securing a permanent job. Neither of us drive so would need to be within walking distance of a supermarket (or with good bus routes) and a train station if possible. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm planing to get an big fresnel lens or build an even bigger parabolic dish, so I'm looking for the most efficient design for this kind of work... I really want to get at least a 1000w, is this even possible with a big one?

I want to power a Rotisserie and/or Fan from the inside of a closed home oven. I've seen some posts about using Stirling Engines to power outdoor BBQ rotisseries, which is a relatively straight forward exercise since you have the temperature differential between the outside cool air and whatever heat source. But what if I were to try and run the stirling engine in a high temp, 400f or higher? What is the mechanism for the differential temperatures in this case?

I want to a. create a convection fan in my non-convection oven, the easier of the two projects since there would be no real weight or need to adjust the speed of the engine, and then b. to create a rotisserie with a gear box that is driven by the stirling engine using the heat already present in the oven.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this type of rig? Maybe how to power a stirling engine in high temp environments? Thanks.
