Stirling Part III - The Bruce

The view of the neighboring countryside from the top of the Wallace Monument.








Not far from the city of Stirling is the area of Bannockburn,



where Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, fought and won the battle of that name over the forces of Edward II, son of Longshanks, forcing the English to recognize Scottish sovereignty and Bruce as King.


A long view from a Bruce statue in Stirling across the valley to the Wallace Momument.

Probably this was our favorite city of all!

The next morning it was off on another train for the port city of Oban and a ferry ride to Mull.
