| Site of the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) | Site of the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) | 017.07 ; 017.11 | The site of the eventful battle of Bannockburn lies about 1½ miles from Stirling and west of the village of St Ninians. It consists of a number of small elevated ridges between which, in the flats, the land was boggy but is now, through drainage, quite dry. It is now formed into several arable and pasture fields, so that all traces of the pits which were so serviceable to the Scotch are now obliterated. In the spring of 1313 Scots laid siege to Stirling Castle. Failing in their object, a treaty was made between their leader, Edward Bruce, and the Governor of the Castle, Sir Philip Mowbray, by which the Castle was to be surrendered to the Scotch if not relieved before 24th June 1314. To prevent this, and otherwise subdue Scotland, Edward II marched a large army from England, which only arrived at Stirling one day before that on which the Castle was to be given up, if not relieved. They took up a position on the south of the Bannock Burn, the Scotch being already posted on the other side so as effectually to guard the approach to the town, their left wing resting on Coxet Hill and St Ninians. On this day (23rd June) 800 of the English cavalry attempted to relieve the Castle by getting round the left wing of the Scotch. They eluded the Scotch divisions led by Moray [Continued on page 202] |

Ordnance Survey - Stirling county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Stirling, which is in central Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
