The Battlefields of Bannockburn Today

Bannockburn! Bannockburn! Bannockburn!

There are three great battles in Scottish history: Stirling, Bannockburn, and Culloden. Each battle helped to define and determine for centuries the future of freedom in Scotland. Behind each battle were important theological issues and controversies directly related to the spiritual vision of the Scots at that time. The 2008 Vision Forum Ministries Faith and Freedom Tour visited the sites of all three battles. At each location, Bill Potter gave the military overview of the battle, Joe Morecraft and I offered theological and historical commentary, and Charlie Zahm provided rousing ballads about the men behind the engagements, and the battles they fought.

Flower of Scotland

O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward’s army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
