The Battle of Stirling Bridge wasn’t just a clash of armies—it was a calculated slaughter. Outnumbered and underestimated, the Scots—led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray—turned strategy into savagery. They didn’t just meet the English… they trapped them.

As English troops marched blindly across the narrow wooden bridge, the Scots waited—silent, still, and merciless. Then, like a spring uncoiled, they struck. The bridge became a bottleneck, a death trap. Knights drowned in their armour. Soldiers were cut down in panic, one by one. There was nowhere to run. No room to fight. Only blood, mud, and the grim sound of steel.

This was the day William Wallace stepped from legend into history—not as a noble idealist, but as a master of war and vengeance.

Join Keith as he takes you back to that brutal morning, and introduces the man who would become the iron fist of Scottish resistance.

Stirling Bridge wasn’t just a victory—it was a warning. And England would never forget it.
