In-Depth Information
Stirling was the scene of some of the most significant developments in the evolution
of the Scottish nation. It was here in 1297 that the Scots, under William Wallace,
defeated the English at the
Battle of Stirling Bridge
, only to fight - and win again -
under Robert the Bruce just a couple of miles away at the
Battle of Bannockburn
in
1314. Stirling enjoyed its golden age in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, most
notably when its castle was the favoured residence of the Stuart monarchy and the
setting for the coronation in 1543 of the young Mary, future Queen of Scots.
