Bouverie Bed and Breakfast Association is a cooperative of Guesthouses, private B & B and owner-occupied accommodation that shares overflow internet traffic and enquiries amongst its members. The intention is to make the booking process for clients simple by limiting the information on association properties to a précis of accommodation type, with facilities symbols and transparent availability at the first point of contact.
Further information in relation to the accommodation can be found by direct access to the accommodation's own web site, which will use the association's availability calendar software, booking form software and will have a return logo to the Association's home page on each web page.
The Association only invites quality accommodation to join so as to build the reputation of the association as a quality brand. However the intention is to attempt to sign up accommodation in all areas of Scotland where accommodation may be required for both tourism and business. In areas where the accommodation need is high but the supply of suitable accommodation is limited, the Association will still attempt to sign up the best options.
The Association will engage in Internet marketing and Search Engine Optimisation to promote web sites that name the eight largest cities in Scotland. Extra information in relation to activities in each of the website cities will be available to assist guests and assist search engine ranking, although all properties will be possible to access from any of the web sites. The Association will not limit itself to accommodation properties in cities. There will be discounts available to accommodation providers in rural areas but the main thrust of marketing will be to reach clients that seek accommodation in urban areas.
The Association encourages all its members to engage in independent internet marketing. There is no charge to any member when a booking is made that is generated independently from the Association web sites. The Association will also encourage all accommodation to provide broadband internet access and VOIP telephones in all the rooms and to expect clients that book through the Association to be computer sophisticated.

The Reformation was far more extreme in Scotland, the destruction of medieval buildings more thorough. The Calvinists not only rejected ornaments in places of worship, but the churches themselves. The Holy Rude is one of the few medieval parish churches to escaped destruction, losing its ornamentation, but the basic fabric of the church survived intact.
The Victorian reformers practised what they preached - which wasn't exactly comforting for the poor inmates. 'Coarse food; a dress of shame; hard, incessant, irksome labour; a planned and regulated and unrelenting exclusion of happiness and comfort' was their prescription for the unfortunate souls detained within these walls.
Nowadays The Old Town Jail is an intriguing attraction for visitors to Stirling - and the perfect starting point for exploring the oldest part of the city.
* Meet the prison warden, the Victorian reformer, Stirling's notorious hangman, and the convict determined to escape
* Fantastic live prison tours
* Prison Beastie Hunt - just for children!
* Audio Tour in 5 languages
* Look out from the Rooftop Viewpoint - for a fantastic view of Stirling and the countryside
The Albert Halls is an imposing venue which has been extensively refurbished to create a modern, adaptable facility. A redevelopment programme incorporating a new extension, cafe/bar, booking office and external landscaping, has ensured the future of the Albert Halls well into the 21st Century.
It towers over some of the most important battlefields of Scotland’s past including Stirling Bridge, the site of William Wallace’s victory over the English in 1297, and Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce defeated the same foe in the summer of 1314.
The Beheading Stone and the old cannons are found on a small hill top. The beheading stone was used in numerous executions during the 15th Century, most notably that of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, in 1425.
Re-opened in 2002, after a sensational restoration and redesign by award winning architect Richard Murphy, the Tolbooth has quickly established a reputation as one of the best live music venues in the country.
The Tolbooth has always been a feature of Stirling's cultural life, it has been a court and jail (complete with death cells) and hosted a parliament in the reign of James VI.
Nowadays the Tolbooth is the base for Stirling Council's Arts and Event Team and the home to some of the best musicians and performers working in Scotland.
The Tolbooth organise a year round performance programme, courses and classes, an arts development programme across the whole area
