The new town prison for Stirling was designed by Thomas Browne, Scotland's leading prisoner designer, and was opened on 11 November 1847. In the 1880s it was possible to transport prisoners further by rail and fewer, larger prisons were needed. The Army took over Stirling Prison as the main detention barracks for Scotland. The Army retained the building until 1935.
During the First World War there was a small specialist Venereal Disease unit for infected inmates.
