Bannockburn
Located in Stirling, Bannockburn is the site of one of Scotland’s most famous battles. It was where Robert the Bruce won a crucial victory over King Edward II in 1314, and the battle helped establish Scotland as an independent nation.
The Bannockburn visitor centre opened in 2014 and uses 3D technology to tell the story of this key moment in Scottish history. Visitors put on 3D glasses and walk into a digital recreation of the run up to the battle.
