Director @Stirling1314

Stirling, GB

After a decade of Stirling 1314 LLP, we are now in a new joint ownership,1314 Stirling Limited, with one of the UK’s leading entrepreneurs. We remain home to the all-pewter, luxury Battle of Bannockburn Chess Set - and the World\'s only all-pewter, luxury Robert Burns Chess Set. In our new phase, we are radically upgrading both sets and have the blueprint for a third, even more spectacular, Luxury Chess Set for launch in late 2025. In between, we will introduce a brand-new range of individual, luxury collectible figures under our new \"Heroes of Scotland\" brand. For over 25 years, as Stirling 1314 (previously Cornerstone Gallery), we sold our chess sets worldwide, mostly to the USA, Canada and Australia, with the first Bannockburn set being bought by the Walt Disney Corporation for the British Pavilion in the Epcot Centre in Florida!After a lifetime in owning and running Advertising and Marketing agencies and, latterly, a brief but spectacular 5 years as Business Development Director with Ferguson Marine Shipyard on the Clyde (until the Scottish Government, who don’t know how to run a soup kitchen, took it away from us. And we know what’s happens since!), my concentration is now solely on taking Stirling 1314 and our spectacular chess sets to where they were always destined - but until now, could never be allocated the time or funds to make it happen.
