It's no secret that Scotland loves football, with fans travelling all around the country and beyond to see their favourite teams play.
With its national team dating back to 1872 — the joint oldest in the world along with England — Scotland has a long and fascinating history with the sport. What you may not have known, however, is that what it believed to be the oldest football in the world is found in a small local museum.
The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum is located in the central Scotland city of Stirling. Opened in 1874, the Victorian museum and art gallery is home to more than 40,000 objects and artworks that celebrate the people and heritage of the surrounding area.
