A recent. informal enquiry reminded me of some notes I had made years ago about the carpenter, alleged to have severed Stirling Bridge, helping the great Scots victory of 1297.
It is a tale easily enough dismissed as a part of the practical evolution of the battle - as I show.
However, this and other improbable aspects of these tales do have, I suggest, a significant literary and rhetorical role.
here are my thoughts. I think there is a case for further researching these tales!.
