After producing 500 copies of "Stirling: a personal view" and then producing another 500 updated second edition, all have been sold.

It has been a long, but fulfilling journey.

Thankyou to all who have had an interest in the project and particular to those who purchased a copy.

Much has happened in Stirling since. Maybe someone will, oneday, produce version 3.

Regards
