Bannockburn
Recommended by
Overview
The Heritage Centre stands close to what is traditionally believed to have been Robert the Bruce's command post before the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, a famous victory for the Scots and a turning point in Scottish history. The Heritage Centre includes audio-visuals and an exhibition, and visitors can walk on the battlefield where there is a statue of Robert the Bruce himself. Restoration of monuments will be taking place in preparation for the 2014 700th anniversary, so some scaffolding and fences may be present. A new Battle of Bannockburn visitor centre will open in March 2014 to mark the 700th anniversary of this famous battle.
