The equestrian statue of Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn is a powerful monument to the Scottish king's greatest military triumph. Unveiled in 1964, the bronze statue by Pilkington Jackson captures Bruce astride his horse, holding a battle axe, just before the clash. It stands on the battlefield where, in 1314, Bruce's outnumbered forces defeated the English army. Visitors can walk the surrounding battlefield landscape and visit the nearby Bannockburn Heritage Centre to learn more about the battle.
