Forthside Barracks is a military installation in Stirling, Scotland.

In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that the facility, as well as the adjacent Meadowforth Barracks, would close in 2022.[3]

51st Infantry Brigade and Army Headquarters Scotland relocated from Forthside to Redford Cavalry Barracks in Edinburgh on 26 March 2021.[4]
