Robroysboy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 a BIG shout out to the William Wallace Society and Ted Christopher for organising the 701st anniversay march from Stirling Bridge to Bannockburn. Great weather, company and well stewarded by the police and volunteers. A family freindly event that I would highly recommend.

peever1745 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It was a great day ,very hot on the march but disappointed that politics again hijacked this event. We need more speakers who can actually talk about the battle of 1314 and not the battle of 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peever1745 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Aye Abbey did a good speech as did another lad who spoke of the battle.I do miss Davids battlefield talks though.Good to see many new faces on the march and hope to see many more next year.Loved the guy with the England rugby top carrying a saltire and SNP/Yes wristbands. Would like to see more English people involved as Ted says the commemoration is to honour all who fell on that day in 1314 no matter which side they were on. Must be the first time I have seen Brian without his kilt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govanhill Jacobite Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The guy with the England top, is a top lad and SNP member and in contact with him, Will maybe ask him to lay a wreath next year to the English fallen also. As you know Peever we have tried for years to get english involved but have al said no which is a shame Was a cracking day and loved it, loads of kids there which is great to see also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We need to move on from events that happened 700 years ago. Why? Is there a time frame of what major events in your countries history you can commemorate and celebrate? I'm qualified to teach and lecture in history. Would make that slightly redundant.

peever1745 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Aye lets move away from remembering our history and start celebrating Waterloo,Trafalger, Hastings,Boyne and Armed Forces Day. emmmm GYTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usainboltyarocket Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Aye lets move away from remembering our history and start celebrating Waterloo,Trafalger, Hastings,Boyne and Armed Forces Day. emmmm GYTF Wouldn't celebrate any of those. Bannockburn of course was an important moment in Scotland's history but it has no relevance in a modern Scotland on the road to Independence.

peever1745 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nobody is saying Bannockburn or any other historic battle has any relevance with todays politics or our road to independence.If you read my earlier post you will see that I do not agree with political speaches etc at the Bannockburn nor any other historical commemoration.
