TOP OF CHAPTER
Stirling Area
The photogenic little villages of old-school Stirling (population 2870) and one-horse
Aldgate (population 3350) are famed for their bedazzling autumn colours, thanks to the
deciduous trees the early residents saw fit to seed. Oddly, Aldgate has also been home to
both Bon Scott and Mel Gibson over the years.
