The terrain around Stirling at the battle of Bannockburn 1314
Bannockburn is of immense importance in the Medieval histories of England and Scotland. Where the battle took place is still unknown, as is the terrain, what the place looked like. The two parts of this paper examine these problems by generating new data on environmental and land use reconstruction. The physical appearance of the landscape was reconstructed from radiocarbon (14C) dating of landforms and palaeo-environmental analyses of sediment s…
The terrain around Stirling at the Battle of Bannockburn 1314
In this second part, we analyse from new radiocarbon (14C) dating of landforms, palaeo-environmental analyses of sediment stratigraphies and documentary evidence for land use, the ‘high road’ to Stirling, across high ground west of the coastal plain, in the early 14th century. We identify a number of significant mis-perceptions of the landscape in the literature, and again stress the need for linked multi-proxy data sources. We re-think the obsta…
Argyll's Lodging, Stirling
Excavation at Argyll's Lodging demonstrates the complex development of the present mansion from the early 17th century onwards, including its use as a military hospital. Excavations also took place on the site of the demolished south wing. Analysis of the historical development of the main house shows an expansion of the house and garden during the 17th century, with a later contraction of the property
East Flanders Moss, Perthshire, a documentary study
East Flanders Moss is now the largest raised mire in Britain and enjoys statutory protection as a National Nature Reserve. Until the eighteenth century it had been exploited mainly for peat and for hunting by the occupants of surrounding settlements; pasture was of limited value. However, by the early eighteenth century improved roads and the consequent availability of lime encouraged legal demarcation of property rights and clearance for agricul…
Early historic settlement on the western carselands of Forth valley
This paper challenges the view, widespread amongst historians and archaeologists, that prior to the Improvement period the carselands west of Stirling were devoid of settlement due to near-continuous peat mosses. The argument is supported by cartographic evidence of pre-Improvement settlement and by documentary evidence of farming and settlement from the 15th century onward. Settlement was concentrated along the river margins and most of the mode…
Improving the roads and bridges of the Stirling area c 1660-1706
The later 17th century saw a marked improvement in the public road system of the Stirling area, with new bridges, better road surfaces and probably some straightening and widening of the roads. In Stirlingshire this work was co-ordinated by the Justices of the Peace, whilst in Clackmannanshire the Justices joined in a more general committee for administering the sheriffdom. They used a combination of statute labour, taxes, fines and charitable do…
