The World's Oldest Football at the Stirling Smith
The Stirling Smith is home to the oldest recorded football. The story is simple. The ball must have been kicked high, at some time in the 1540s, as it lodged in the rafters of the Queen's Chamber in Stirling Castle prior to the fitting of the ceiling. It was left there, and retrieved only in the enabling works in 1970s, when it was gifted to the Smith. Made of leather and inflated with a pig's bladder, it would not otherwise have survived.
