A watching brief was maintained at Stirling Castle over a period of 3 days from the 7th to the 9th of August while the MCU excavated a pipe trench through the E gateway of the protective wall surrounding the Nether Bailey powder magazines. The purpose of the work was to put in place a waste water pipe to link up the E end of the powder magazine and a small stone building positioned within the perimeter wall at its NE corner to the main sewer which runs W down through the Nether Bailey several metres below the granite setts of the access road. In general terms the new sandstone paving seems fairly recent and most of the disturbances appear to have taken place over a period probably not exceeding the last 50 years or so.
