The University of Stirling is set on a wooded and landscaped site, which includes a small loch (lake) and Airthrey castle. The University has some of the finest sports facilities in the country, including a 50 meter swimming pool as part of the National Swimming Academy, fitness room, National Indoor Tennis Center, athletic track, and a nine-hole golf course.
