Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Stirling's Old Bridge was constructed on rubble foundations around 1500 and replaced earlier wooden bridges, including the one which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought.
Stirling was traditionally regarded as the key to Scotland. The battle on 11th September 1297 was fought during the First War of Scottish Independence between the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace, who dominated the soft flat ground north of the river, and the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham who camped south of the river.
