Battle at Bannockburn avoided

May 07, 2015/ Arran Johnston

Two weeks ago we heard some worrying proposals for a major development around the site of events on the first day of the Battle of Bannockburn 1314.

We're relieved to say that after a consultation event, attended by friends in the Battlefields Trust and from the National Trust for Scotland, it appears the Stirling Council are currently keen to see that the integrity of the Milton Ford area is maintained.

We will keep our ears open nonetheless, but it seems in the meantime that a feared threat has been avoided.
