Stirling Bridge

The Battle of Stirling Bridge took place in 1297 during Scotland's fight for independence from England. Scottish forces, led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray, used the narrow Stirling Bridge to their advantage. When the English troops tried to cross, the Scots attacked fiercely, exploiting the confined space to prevent the larger English army from fully engaging. This strategic use of terrain allowed the Scots to achieve a significant victory despite being outnumbered. The battle is notable as a symbol of Scottish resilience and clever military tactics during their resistance against English rule.
