The Church of the Holy Rude is the second oldest building in Stirling, Scotland after the Castle. The church was founded in 1129 during the reign of David I (1124 - 1153) as the parish church of Stirling. Nothing now remains due to a fire, construction on the nave was underway by 1414, and based on the heraldry the vault of the nave was completed between 1440 and 1480. Work on the chancel did not commence until 1507 and completed arond 1530 which was when the tower was also completed.
