City of Stirling Reel was given to the Branch by Roy Goldring after he taught at a very successful day school in 2005. Stirling was given city status as one of the 6 new millennium cities hence the name given to the dance. The tune, The Nether Bailey, was composed for the dance by Nicol McLaren of the Glencraig Band. The Nether Bailey is thought to be the oldest part of Stirling Castle.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
