Castle Hotel, 29 Upper Castle Hill, Stirling

The Castle Hotel, located at 29 Upper Castle Hill in Stirling, is an 18th century building that has undergone later additions and modern alterations. Originally, it consisted of two buildings: one two-storey and the other four-storey, reflecting the change in ground level. The exterior is harled and whitewashed, featuring painted margins and a slated roof. In 1971/2, the buildings were converted into a visitor centre by Johnston & Groves-Raines.

The southwest elevation, facing the Esplanade, is divided into two sections. The northwest end is a single-storey with a basement, featuring a bowed porch that replaces an older bowed stair. The southeast end is two-storeys tall, with three bays and two piended dormers.

The northeast elevation, facing Upper Castlehill, is four-storey with six bays. The three-bay southeast section includes a central arched top floor window that is raised in the roof. The three-bay northwest section previously had modern smoked glass oriels at the top floor, which were removed around 2004.
