19/9/2022

Few topics in Scottish history are more evocative than the Battle of Bannockburn. The anniversary (in 2014) stimulated both the construction of a new Visitor Centre and also significant, new research work on the landscapes and their implictions for the battle.
Some of the outcomes were published at the time. But two major papers have only just appeared.
They are;
Richard Tipping, Gordon Cook, Derek Hamilton, John G Harrison, Jason Jordan, Danny Paterson & David E. Smith (2022) The terrain around Stirling at the battle of Bannockburn 1314: combined scientific and documentary approaches to reconstruction. I. The ‘low road’, Journal of Conflict Archaeology, DOI: 10.1080/15740773.2022.2106809

II. The ‘High Road’, Journal of Conflict Archaeology, DOI: 10.1080/15740773.2022.2106810
 
The two papers look at the carse and the higher ground in turn and provide a radical new view of the landscapes (settled but often difficult to traverse) which the armies encountered.
