Bannockburn Battle Site

Located south of Stirling is the town of Bannockburn, where the Scots led by King Robert the Bruce defeated the army of Edward II in the Battle of Bannockburn on 24th June 1314.

The fields where the battle took place are found behind the visitor centre. There is a statue and monument showing where the troops gathered before the battle.

There is a great view of Stirling Castle from the fields and the surrounding scenery adds to the very peaceful atmosphere of the area during daylight hours.

The Investigation

We began by taking photographs, camcorder footage, temperature readings and EMF readings from all areas around the statue, the monument and the fields before sundown. All EMF readings were normal and nothing was picked up on the still cameras.

There were some fluctuations in the temperature, in some areas the temperature recorded was as low as –5 degrees and there were some light anomalies found on the camcorder footage that we cannot explain. The battlesite covers a large area and due to the weather we were only able to cover a small part of it.

We were rather disappointed with our Bannockburn Battle Site investigation for the reason that we had to cut it short due to deteriorating weather conditions. We hope to investigate this site again in the near future.

This is only a very brief summary of our full report. Please contact us for more details, photos and video clips from our Bannockburn battle site investigation.
