My dog Molly and I were amazed at the number of tourists who arrived at the Battlefield, spent less than 10 minutes at the site of Scotland's greatest battle, then departed Bannockburn. Molly taught me to welcome visitors, give a warm hug, and say thank you for taking the time to remember our great heroes such as Robert the Bruce and James Douglas, and all those who fought, died, and survived at Bannockburn. Our outdoor tour on the Battlefield, covers the Wars of Independence, the Battle, and the aftermath up to the current day. We shall entertain you with stories of the main characters and the small folk who influenced the battle. We also do a Stirling Bridge tour, the scene of William Wallace’s greatest victory.
