colej Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle could both be seen from my office. If you played Stirling, there's a cute little par 3 with a good view of the motorway; across from that is a huge office campus, Prudential - that's where I worked for 21 years.
Played all of the courses you've listed (assuming it was Falkirk Tryst and not Carmuirs) and the Old Course. It's on my bucket list but finding time is hard with golf_ghirl still working, although we've played the Fairmont courses a few times (4 day honeymoon at the Fairmont hotel back in the day ...).
