[Below entry for Cornton (Site of the Battle of Stirling A.D. 1297):]
The battle of Stirling was fought on the 13th September 1297. The scene of Action appears to have been about the place now called Corntown, and in a plain north of the river, opposite to the castle. It was the most complete victory that Wallace had ever gained in a regular fought field. Nor was his loss considerable. Sir Andrew Moray of Bothwell was the only person of note amongst the slain. The Earl of Surry, who, with the rest of the English army, was upon the south side of the River, beholding this disaster, immediately retreated southward, after having set fire to the remains of the bridge, to prevent a quick pursuit from the victorious Scots. He was greatly harassed, however, in his march by the Lord High Steward, and the Earl of Lennox, who came upon him from behind the neighbouring mountains, where, with a large force, they had been posted in Ambush. Wallace, too, having speedily crossed soon joined them; and coming up with the main body of the retreating army at Torwood, commenced a sharp action. The Scots obtained the victory; and Surry himself escaped with great difficulty, being so closely pursued, that when he arrived at Berwick, his horse was so fatigued as to be unable to eat.
