I never thought I would uploaded these photos again, before my over complicated back up regime I thought these were most certainly lost; Indeed almost forgotten about! Looking at the rather embarrassing web cache of this site, one stumbled across these photos again – aye, I’m having them back thank you very much!
Honestly the photos are rubbish, with a low resolution of 640*480, taken with I think Olympus digital camera, with a Smart media card, the camera was extremely basic. the photos are certainly unique, Unfortunately there are only a handful. Plus I took them before I cared about taking a decent photo. Must have forgotten to turn the flash off.

Panoramic – Bannockburn Battlefield
we can see the Rotunda and flagpole and the Statue of Robert The Bruce – all commemorating the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. When Robert Burns visited the site in 1793 he pend the poem ‘Scots Wha Hae’
Bannockburn Battlefield
Scots, wha hae wi’ Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory!
Now’s the day, and now’s the hour;
See the front o’ battle lour;
See approach proud Edward’s power—
Chains and slavery!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward’s grave!
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
Wha for Scotland’s king and law
Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa’,
Let him follow me!
By oppression’s woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty’s in every blow!—
Let us do or die!
