The Smith Cafe

We had a lovely lunch here today in the very pleasant cafe. The portions were generous and the service was polite and friendly. Very good value and we really enjoyed it. After lunch we wandered round the extraordinary collection of things from the local area. It’s not a Morden museum and you stumble into things which have lots of interesting information about them on cards and labels and stuff. The place is free to enter and the museum staff were really helpful.

This is a very quaint and higgledy piggedy museum and gallery with some rare objects on display. I am not sure it has changed much since I was here 50 years ago. There are very few relics from the battle of Bannockburn are I think they are all in a little glass case in a corner of the museum. There are some ancient whale bones, carved panels from the palace of Stirling castle and lots of information cards explaining the story of Stirling in a very random and pilled up way. I loved it. Free parking and really good cafe. The staff are exceptionally attentive and the food is very well priced. Nicely presented in a very high ceiling room. I had a very large ploughman’s here today and I doubt I will need dinner.

Museum and gallery is brilliant. Lots to see and loads of interesting artifacts. Going through the centuries of Stirling. Free parking through the barrier to the side. The cafe inside is a gem. We had tuna toasties and BLT both with amazing salad and crisps. Belting place and great guys working there 👍

What a wonderful fascinating place. The photography exhibition was my favourite part being a street photographer myself. The art exhibition was absolutely cracking along with the museum which captured Scottish life perfectly. The lady on reception was very informed and pleasant. The little cafe makes lovely coffee and, wonder of wonders, the most delicious gluten free carrot cake.

Very interesting place to visit because it is an art gallery and museum. Some really interesting items from Stirling's history. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The cafe was lovely with very tasty cakes plus they also do meals for breakfast and lunch. Toilets were clean and tidy. Free parking onsite.

This museum is fantastic. Quirky, interesting and a great insight into Stirling and around. A good mix of historical artefacts, paintings and local interest. While the displays are a bit aged in places, this was part of the charm and discovery of the place. We were greeted by the museum Cat on entry. We will definitely visit again.
