Princes Street drill hall, Stirling

The building was designed as the headquarters of the 4th (Stirlingshire) Volunteer Battalion, Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) and was completed in 1892.^[1][2] This unit evolved into the 7th Battalion, Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) in 1908.^[3] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.^[4][5]

The 7th Battalion amalgamated with the 8th Battalion to form the 3rd (Territorial) Battalion, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) in Stirling in 1967.^[6] The battalion subsequently moved to the Meadowforth Road Army Reserve Centre and the Princes Street drill hall was converted for residential use.^[7]
