Our Battle Master-NED at Bannockburn

Dressing the King of England in shield so you know who is on your side, shield, protective head dress and gauntlets.

Typical English battle garb.

Typical Scottish battle dress. The metal hat on the right you may remember from WWII. They could tip the hat over, fill it with water from the stream and then put it in the fire to make it clean.

Dress of the normal foot soldier.

They would wear a hat that had a long tail and fall over the back to keep the rain off their over clothes.

We wore 3-D glasses and stood side by side mid evil warriors and knights to understand the strategies.
Then we got to plan the battles and carry forth  the king's plans. In the end Scotland won even though they were outnumbered 2 to 1. English had 20,000 men vs 10,000 Scots. In the battle played here everyday for the last year, the English win 50% of the time.

Scene at Bannokburn where the battle was fought.

The English King Edward II was taken to Stirling Castle when the battle was being lost. The English held the castle and told him to keep going so he wouldn't be captured. He was able to escape on a ship after he got to Linlithgow.
