My page is dedicated to the life and times of Robert the Bruce.
I have spent many years researching the Battle of Bannockburn, fought near Stirling Castle, June 1314.
Many debates exist about the battle, its exact location, numbers of Scots involved in comparison to English forces, and many myths which appear through storytelling years later than the battle.
How could an army of 6,000 Scots defeat a superior elite English army of over 20,000?
How could a small force of 500 Scots cavalry disperse a force of several thousand lethal English and Welsh war bowmen (‘every arrow was death’) from ½ mile away?
The battle was fought over 6 square miles of varying terrain.
I walk in the footsteps of Robert Bruce, William Wallace, the Kings, soldiers, martyrs, and freedom fighters who shaped history by visiting castles, battlefields, and landmarks defining the medieval period.
The information given is my own opinion based on my own interest and extensive research.
This is my passion!
