The David Stirling Memorial, sometimes also called the SAS Memorial, has stood since 2002 on the Hill of Row, near Sir David's ancestral home, looking towards the mountains of the southern Highlands. The B824, from Doune to Junction 11 on the M9, runs past it, and as a result it is easy to find and visit.

Its centrepiece is a statue of Colonel Sir David Stirling standing on rocks. A plaque on the memorial reads: "In remembrance of all those members of the Special Air Service Regiment who have died in the service of their country and have given their lives to uphold the principles of freedom and justice". Nearby plaques are inscribed with the names of members of the SAS Regiment who have died in service.

Colonel Sir David Stirling, OBE, DSO, lived from 15 November 1915 to 4 November 1990. He was a Scottish landowner, a keen mountaineer, World War II army officer, and founder of the Special Air Service. Archibald David Stirling was born at the family home of Keir House three miles south-east of Doune.
