The Pineapple
On our way home from shopping in Stirling we stopped for a look at the Pineapple. Located 1 km northwest of Airth, Stirling, the Pineapple is a most unusual edifice, built on his estate by John Murray, the 4th Earl of Dunmore, in 1761. The pineapple, then a rare delicacy, was a symbol of wealth. It's 75 feet in height and intricately carved from stone.
The Pineapple was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland in 1974 and is now a holiday retreat.
