The definitive work on the Battle of Bannockburn is that by the author William Scott in his three books, Bannockburn Revealed, Bannockburn Proved and The Genius of Bannockburn. He spent 10 years researching the battle, collating all known contemporary accounts and references, some of he had translated from Latin. He also used General Roy's maps and meticulously investigated the land. The main battle on the second day took place in the Carse of Balqhuiderock, bounded by the Pelstream burn on one side and the Bannockburn on the other. It was a large Scottish army, not a small one, and there was no involvement of Scottish cavalry. The Scots rose early in the morning and quickly deployed down a 60' slope from the Dryfield through Balqhuiderock Wood onto the Carse, sealing off the Carse at its narrowest point, a half-mile gap, to avoid being outflanked. The English, taken by surprise, hastily mounted and charged over a short distance into the assembled, tightly-knit ranks of pikemen. They ground to a halt and their archers, behind them, were ordered to stop firing as they were hitting their own mounted men. Meanwhile the Scottish archers could fire devastatingly at will over their own ranks of pikemen. The static English cavalry were sitting ducks, killed and dragged from their mounts. Edward 2 was led from the field as the Scots advanced. The Scots won by virtue of having a brilliant plan on ground perfectly suited to it. The real story is well worth reading.

The Bruce hid in Aberdeen when he was an outlaw, under the protection of the monks, when he raised an army and took the city from the English he used the password "Bon Accord" to the gate keepers who let his army inside. The city's motto to this day "Bon Accord".

A massive advantage was the Scots had weeks to train the troops and choose the best land to defend. He chose the land carefully knowing the English would be hemmed in. They knew the English had to advance towards Stirling Castle, the last castle still in English hands. Bruce was a great tactician and knew that the archers were a threat, he also knew that training the foot soldiers with the pikes could defeat the heavy cavalry.

It is important to note that this battle had Norman nobles on BOTH sides fighting for control over Scotland. The Scottish Normans won this round. My ancestors were on the Scottish side but there was an English branch of the family that we had to face off on the English side so it was literally putting Norman famlies against each other in the twisting politics of power during those times.

I'd be interested to see what you come up with regarding the Battle of Duplin moor in 1332. Touted these days by some south of the border as a "rematch", the supporters of King David II of Scotland, the son of King Robert Bruce, were defeated by English-backed invaders supporting Edward Balliol. Balliol briefly titled himself King of Scotland before being driven (allegedly fleeing naked from his bed) back across the border.

Love the vid but more could be made of Bruce splitting Henry de Bohun's head open before the battle. Imagine, you're an infantryman fighting for Bruce, you know you're well outnumbered and about to face one of the most formidable armies in western europe. Your king is lightly armoured and taking in the scene of the battle on a pony, supervising battle positions but not expecting to fight just yet. A young english knight, pumped up for the fight, sees Bruce exposed in front of his army and spots an opportunity for immortality. He spurs his charger right at the King of Scotland. Bruce is on his pony, without armour or serious weapon, having only a small axe, and can easily slip in behind the mass of his troops to avoid the unbalanced confrontation, but he knows his men are watching him. Not wanting to lose face, he keeps his cool while the heavily armoured knight gallops towards him and, at the last moment, he pulls his nimble pony to the side, rises up in his stirrups, and deals a blow to de Bohun so heavy that it splits his head asunder. His men, cheering their king, pass the details of this epic moment up and down the lines. Their courage will see them through to win the battle to come. Great vid, but I just love this particular moment from the battle. The drama is unbelievable and honesty imagine you were fighting for Bruce and witnessed it, you'd be well up for the fight!

I am from Lochmaben, as was 'the Bruce' (de Brus). People of Lochmaben are proud to be from our village, and proud of the Bruce. One day, perhaps, Scotland will be an independent country again. The battle cry at Bannockburn was; 'the Bruce, the Bruce, the Bruce'...

I don't think the cavalry would charge into pikes, I believe its impossible to make horses do that. Although they could have used missiles to create an opening and charge through it.

Always easier with home advantage. Did the English army travel then fight straight away, or did they rest well before battle? You would think the English wouldn’t have risen to the bait, and agreed to fight where Bruce wanted to?

Got to mention Sir Giles D'Argentan. He was one of two knights that led King Edward to safety before stating that he "had never fled a battle and nor will I now". He the turned and charged at 800 Scots and was killed. Brave and honourable man.

I love this video. I'm very lucky to trace my roots all the way back to ancestral grandfathers Robert the Bruce and Sir James Douglas, both x2, and also English Sir Robert De Cliiford on my mother's side. He died fighting in Bannockburn. Love all the family, but Chancellors are always Scots first and foremost. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
