Wars of Independence. 1249 - 1328

The Scottish Wars of Independence were a series of battles fought by Edward I of England, his successors and members of the Scottish nobility between 1286 and 1328. The people and events have been shrouded in myth and legend for generations and their exploits, romanticised and embellished, have come to shape Scotland’s identity as a nation. Tales of the battles and the men who fought in them have been retold and popularised by films like Braveheart and Outlaw King.
