Hi Ian
'For this reason the Scots adopted a stout heart at the instigation of
William Wallace, who taught them to fight, so that those whom the
English nation held as living captives might be made renewed Scots in
their own homeland,... Hence in the year one thousand three hundred less
three time one the Scots vanquished the English, whom they put into
mourning for death, as the bridge bears witness, where the great battle
is recorded, which lies beyond Stirling on the River Forth.’
Poem in Bower’s Scotichronicon on the Battle of Stirling Bridge
Evidently the actual bridge is about 180 yds away. I stayed in Stirling
a while. Very tranquil enjoyable time I have to say.
