Bannockburn

Bannockburn (Scottish Gaelic: Allt a' Bhonnaich) is an area immediately south of the centre of Stirling in Scotland. It is part of the City of Stirling.

Early life. Robert the Bruce was born on 11 July 1274, but nobody knows where for sure. An educated guess would be Turnberry Castle in Ayrshire, where he was raised to speak three languages – Gaelic, Scots and Norman French – and to fight for his family's claim to the Scottish crown.

First War of Scottish Independence William Wallace & Andrew de Moray defeated the English forces of John de Warenne and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling on the River Forth. A Scottish force under John III Comyn defeated the English under Sir John Segrave in a series of encounters.

The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre is worth visiting for its compelling combination of history, technology, and national significance.
