The most enigmatic of the many monuments to martyrs of the Scottish Reformation. It’s a striking pyramid shaped memorial and if you can muster up the effort to climb up the small hill to the monument, there are four white marble bibles, each opened to a different passage.

Stone pyramid in a cemetery...wow.
Worth visiting
The Star Pyramid is a striking stone memorial on the boundary between Drummond Pleasure Ground and the Valley Cemetery, on the southeast side of Stirling Castle. The memorial was commissioned by William Drummond and built in 1863 by a local man William Barclay. It is also known as the Martyrs' Monument as it was erected to remember the martyrs of the Scottish Reformation and Covenanting Era. Also known as Salem Rock. Free to view, the cemetery alongside has interesting headstones and history as well. The Star Pyramid apparently had 2 bronze eagles on each side of the stairs, but typically they went missing, it is said in the 1970's. Very sad that people would desecrate monuments that way.
Spooky looking pyramid,with Masonic overtones. Looks very much like the all seeing eye,on a dollar bill
It could really do with a tiny bit of cleaning to help you read the Psalms references at the bottom
Hmmmm...
Very interesting indeed
