Here in 1314, in one of the defining moments in Scottish history, King Robert the Bruce routed the English forces of King Edward II to win a much-longed-for freedom for the Scots.

Bannockburn 2014
There are exciting plans for improvements onsite for the 700th anniversary in 2014. Visit www.battleofbannockburn.com to keep up to date with the progress of the new visitor centre, and prepare for battle.

Please be aware that in order to enable crucial landscaping and restoration works to the historic monuments, as of 3 October 2012 scaffolding and boundary fences will be installed to ensure public safety and comply with relevant health and safety legislation. Details of this will be posted throughout the grounds, providing details of the constraints that will be placed on public access to the monuments. This is a necessary part of our plans as part of the Battle of Bannockburn project to restore the site in time for the 700th anniversary of the battle in 2014.
