The battle of Stirling Bridge

“In early September 1297 a mighty army arrived in Stirling to put down Scots resistance to English rule.
 
The Scots allowed around half the invaders to advance across the narrow bridge over the Forth.
 
Then William Wallace and the Scots swept forward to achieve a brilliant victory over a far superior force.”(see extra photo).
