These images reagarding the battle of Bannockburn show the borestone and statue of King Robert The Bruce. The battle of Bannockburn was fought in midsummer in 1314. The battlefield is two miles from Stirling. The traditional site is marked by a memorial Cairn erected in 1957. Nearby is the borestone on which Bruce's standard is supposed to ahve been planted. You can see a large area of the burn from the borestone. 
This statue of King Robert the Bruce is located near the entrance to Stirling Castle. The extensive iron works you see in this image was removed a number of years ago.
