The Overport Battery, combined with some of the guns on the French Spur, protected the southern flank of the Stirling Castle, looking out over the ditch to the approach from the south. From here there are great views over Stirling, especially to the east over Gowan Hill and out beyond the Wallace Monument. Behind the Overport Battery rises the castle Forework, which gave access to the Outer Close, and beyond this you can see the tops of the Great Hall and Royal Palace.
