Bannockburn : About the project
A new look for 2014
The Battle of Bannockburn project is an exciting partnership between the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland, funded by the Scottish Government and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
An innovative new visitor centre and sensitive landscaping will change the way visitors experience Bannockburn, making it a truly world-class site for this defining moment in Scotland’s history.
The building
A bold new design, inspired by traditional Scottish buildings, by Reiach and Hall Architects.
The landscape
Sight lines to the commemorative monuments will be restored, giving Bannockburn back to the people. Landscaping works will restore the dignity of the site and evoke a traditional parkland feel.
The experience
700 years after the famous Scots victory in 1314, come face to face with medieval battle. An immersive, cutting edge 3D experience allows visitors to experience medieval warfare like never before. Discover how the tactics and decisions of two kings inspired the events that would shape history and Scotland, forever.
