Bannockburn 1314 - winning a nation?
Published: 9 May 2014
A one day event looking at the reality of Scotland’s greatest triumph over the ‘auld enemy’.
Saturday 21 June 2014
10.00am - 4.00pm
The stunning victory of Robert Bruce over the English at Bannockburn was a watershed in the struggle for Scottish independence, but it is shrouded in myths and popular misconceptions - even the location of the battlefield is hotly debated. This day event will strip away these myths and look at the reality of Scotland’s greatest triumph over the ‘auld enemy’. Placing the battle firmly within the world of medieval chivalry, we will look at why, where, and how the battle was fought and discuss its overall significance for Scottish national identity, past and future.
