Stirling Astronomical Society at Old Stirling High School Observatory
Stirling
This impressive building used to be used as Stirling High School, it was converted into an hotel in 1990. View the night sky through the 133 year old Newtonian reflecting telescope within the copper-domed Observatory at the Category A Listed Stirling Highland Hotel courtesy of Stirling Astronomical Society members. Group tours of up to 10 people will last approximately 30 minutes. This is a very popular event so you may have to queue but the hotel has kindly provided a room where you can watch a digital presentation while you wait, or if you can’t make it up the two-three flights of spiral stairs. If the sky is clear it should be possible to view stars, the moon, Saturn & Jupiter.
Please come after 8pm if you have no children.
