"Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,/ Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,/ Welcome to your gory bed,/ Or to victorie!" (Robert Burns)
The Scottish Wars of Independence from England ran from 1294 to 1329. William Wallace ('Guardian of Scotland') was celebrated in an epic poem from c. 1477, republished in 1722, which was then novelized by Randall Wallace as 'Braveheart'. The 1995 film resulted. King Robert the Bruce took up the Scottish cause after Wallace's brutal execution. Victory at the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) ensured Scotland's independence.
In this illustrated talk we will explore the no-man's-land of 'faction', and visit both the Wallace Monument and the battlefield of Bannockburn near Stirling.
